I have tried this recipe twice and just don't like it, and btw when you add oj to it you make a sex on the beach.

A very, very good drink, but only if you make it right. First off, it MUST have Amaretto to make it taste like a real pineapple upside down cake. Usually a heavy splash or so. Second, use very good vanilla vodka. I've tried it with cheap vodka, and you can't taste the vanilla, which really makes or breaks this drink. You might be able to get away with regular vodka and a light splash of vanilla extract, but I really suggest the vanilla vodka.

We really liked this! It tasted just like upside down cake. We added this to our summer drink menu! Thanks!

Great HIT at parties * with one note: Stir BEFORE adding grenadine, then drop in at the last minute to make it really 'look' like Pineapplie Upside-down cake in a Martini glass. Very cool!

These were way too sweet! I made them exactly as the recipe calls for. I might try them again but I'll use regular vodka instead of vanilla vodka.

Holy Cow ! this was the best "girly" drink recipe. I made 2 huge pitcher's of it (upping the scale of the recipe meter ) for my bunco party ... everyone went wild over it. Thank you .. it will be my signature drink next year too !

I am a bartender, i have served a version of this drink with great results. In order to get a real upside-down cake flavor, add amaretto. watch out for grenadine. Some complain of being too sweet. I serve it as a cocktail with a splash of cranberry. (offsetts the sweetness, adds the color that grenadine does.) I named it pineapple upside-down cake because it totally reminded me of one of my favorite desserts.

I LOVE THIS DRINK!! I look forward to having this drink when I get home on Fridays after a long week at work! I normally use equal parts pineapple juice and vodka so it has much more of a kick. If you don't have vanilla vodka, I have had great success with plane vodka and a tsp. or so of torani sugar-free vanilla syrup. But do include vanilla in some form - it really adds the "cake" portion of the drink's name. I have also used orange and lemon vodka (when I ran out of plain/vanilla and needed my martini fix!). Highly recommend. Thanks for the post!

These were very good! I'm not usually a fan of martinis but this was more like a punch. We made these for a party and instead of making individual martinis, we just put all the ingredients in a pitcher and it turned out really good and was very simple and all the girls loved it.

My sister made these last night...fantastic. If you love pineapple upside-down cake (which I do) you will absolutely love this martini. It's like drinking a cake. Delish!!

Make this smaller, as a shot...it is much better because you get the full effect at once!

Loved this recipe!! Had friends over and everybody was raving about it. They all even left with the recipe. It even smells delicious!!

I agree with the last reviewer. Does not really taste like pineapple upside down cake but more like just pineapple. Good but not one of my favorites. Thanks

This was pretty good. I have to say it just basically tastes like pineapple juice. So if you arent an alcohol lover, you will like it. Its not strong at all. The name makes it sound really yummy. But it really doesnt taste like a pineapple upside down cake.

fantastic! this just like the one they make at the restaurants...one of my very favorite cocktails. i tried mcgillicuddys vanilla this time with good results, but will trey the vanilla vodka next. AWESOME martini!

We used lemon vodka and added a splash of cranberry to the grenadine and a splash of orange to the pineapple. YUM!!!
