The Queens Cocktail is a variant on the Perfect Martini, with the addition of pineapple juice and sometimes lemon juice.[1] Its closest relative is the more popular Bronx, which contains orange juice rather than pineapple.

It can be found as early as 1930, in Harry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book; Craddock's text, however, lists it as a "Queen's Cocktail."[2]
