Pink Diamond Martini
When CK Mondavi and Family told me that they were celebrating their 75th anniversary and they wanted me to create a cocktail in celebration, I was honored! I have had the incredible opportunity to partner with CK Monday & Family for several years now, and have even been able to spend time with Angelina Mondavi, Marc Mondavi and Janice Mondavi. One thing I love about CK Mondavi & Family is their family. They are amazing, genuine people that have made it theirs life’s goal to bring us amazing wines.
CK Mondavi & Family wines are bottled in the Napa Valley by the iconic C. Mondavi & Family.

Based in the Napa Valley for seventy-five years, CK Mondavi and Family’s grapes are 100% sourced from California vineyards, utilizing sustainable farming techniques and winemaking practices that are more typical of expensive wines. Their relentless commitment to quality winemaking and hands-on small lot sourcing sets them apart from other value wines. A large portion of the grapes in CK Mondavi and Family wines are estate grown on the family’s 1,850 acres of vineyard property and the family is committed to working with American growers that they’ve had partnerships with for generations.

So what better way to celebrate all their achievements and incredible wines than with a Diamond Sweepstakes and a Pink Diamond Martini?! Diamonds are a girls best friend 😉
I’ll tell you more about the sweepstakes in just a few seconds, but for now, let’s get started on that Pink Diamond Vodka Martini.
Pink Diamond Martini Key Ingredients
- CK Mondavi and Family Pinot Grigio
- Pummelo Juice – for that pink color
- Vodka
- Ice
That’s it my friends! Cheers to easy and amazing martinis!
I used the Pinot Grigio because it is fresh and crisp, making it as easy pairing with vodka and the pummelo juice.
What is pummelo juice? Well, simply put, it’s the juice from a pummelo. Ok, that was obvious. What is a pummelo? You can learn all about pummelo here, but for the sake of this incredible martini, I will tell you that pummelo is a citrus fruit, kinda like a grapefruit but sweeter and juicier. Pummelo is grown here in Florida and is in season from October to January. Making pummelo the perfect addition to my Pink Diamond Martini that is celebrating the CK Mondavi and Family Diamond Sweepstakes which runs until December 31st. So, you can create this cocktail all sweepstakes long, then cheers to the winner in January!
How to make a Pink Diamond Martini
- First, you juice your pummelo – I cut mine into sections and actually used a lemon squeezer.
- Add ice to your martini glass.
- Add vodka, wine and pummelo juice to a martini shaker with some ice to make it nice and cold. Shake baby shake!
- Pour into your favorite martini glass.
- Garnish with a wedge of pummelo and some fresh mint if desired.

“Our dedication to crafting high quality wines at an approachable price point has never wavered. While we usually enjoy our wines just as they are, trying a special new wine cocktail feels extra celebratory,” said Riana Mondavi, member of the fourth generation and Director of Chains – Western Region. “My sister and I will also be reminiscing about some of our favorite family memories and will be talking about what we envision for CK Mondavi and Family for the next 75 years.”
The complete CK Mondavi and Family collection is available nationwide and includes Moscato, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Red Blend, all available for a suggested retail price of $6.99 for a 750 ml bottle., and $13.99 for a 1.5L magnum. New this year, the white wine labels feature color-changing thermochromic ink. They change from a light cream to full color when chilled, at approximately 45-50 degrees, showing just the right serving temperature. If you haven’t bought one of their white wines with these labels yet, you have to, they are so cool! The idea that they tell us when the wine is at the perfect temperature for drinking is so neat to me!
