I've seen two versions of the recipe, one with pineapple juice and one without. The one without has a very strong raspberry flavor, the one with is a pretty nice balanced flavor.Here are the two variations...
French Martini (with pineapple juice)
2 parts Vodka
2 parts Pineapple Juice
1 part Chambord
Shake ingredients with ice & strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
French Martini (without pineapple juice)
1.5 parts Vodka
1 part Chambord
Stir ingredients with ice & strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a raspberry.
I think I like the version with pineapple juice better. Also, the lemon twist gives you that confused taste buds sensation that is the sign of a great cocktail.
Cheers!

They did give us the Statue of Liberty after all. :)
Stop hating on the french you asshole. The french martini is fabulous and i bet id need at least 30 of them before laying eyes on your ugly ass.
happy 4th.
