Pineapple Upside Down Cake Martini

Last Friday, we went and saw Pittsburgh Ballet Theater’s Coppélia downtown for our birthdays.  We went to dinner at Olive Or Twist for dinner beforehand and tried some great cocktails. So, when we were thinking of things to make for a little birthday get-together with friends Saturday night, we had to make the one Declan had ordered.
