Wedding Cake Martini

• Let your friends eat cake -- and drink up the taste as well with a martini that evokes the flavor of a traditional wedding cake. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice cubes. Pour three parts vanilla vodka to one part coconut rum into the shaker. Next, add three parts pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine syrup to the mix. Cover the shaker and shake well, and then strain the martini into a glass and serve.

Coconut Martini

• If you're nutty about all things coconut, you should certainly try a coconut martini. To prepare, first toast some coconut flakes in your oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, stirring the flakes every five minutes or so. Fill a cocktail shaker about half full with ice -- and add equal parts white rum, coconut rum and vanilla vodka. Next, add one-third part either coconut cream or coconut milk to the mixture. Shake well and strain into a glass. Garnish with cooled toasted coconut flakes.

Caribbean Martini

• To take a trip to the islands without having to leave home, use vanilla vodka and coconut rum to create a Caribbean martini. First, find yourself a ripe pineapple -- and clean and slice it. Pour one part coconut rum, two parts vanilla vodka and a dash of pineapple juice into a cocktail shaker that's half filled with ice. Cover the shaker and shake well, and then strain into a glass and serve. Garnish with a slice of your fresh pineapple.

Key Lime Martini

• If Key lime pie is one of your favorite desserts, you're likely to enjoy a Key lime martini. To prepare, fill your cocktail shaker half full of ice before adding this equal parts coconut rum and vanilla vodka. Next, add a half part lime juice -- make it Key lime juice if you can find it. Cover the shaker and shake thoroughly. Strain into a glass and garnish with a slice of lime.
