A hypnotiq martini is a combination of hypnotiq, pineapple juice and coconut rum. The resulting martini is a bluish green color and is full of tropical flavors all mixed together in a sweet and refreshing drink.

Coconut rum is actually a coconut flavored liqueur. This is due to the fact that the percentage of alcohol in this drink is lowered with the additives that are put in. It is based in a rum and has coconut and sugar flavorings added in.
