Rocky Balboa’s glass full of raw eggs won’t prepare you for the Knockout, the signature martini at Sullivan’s, a swank LoDo steakhouse named for legendary pugilist John L. Sullivan, the “Boston Strong Boy.” This killer cocktail is made with fresh Hawaiian pineapple slices that have been marinated for seven to ten days in a jug of Finlandia vodka, then hand-squeezed until they give up every last drop of their alcoholic fruit juice. It’s strong stuff, served shaken and straight up in a chilled martini glass and garnished with an orange twist. The meanest thing about the cocktail ($8.95) is that it tastes so good, you forget what a formidable opponent you’re up against. With live music nightly in the upscale, dark-wood bar, Sullivan’s and its Knockout deliver the perfect one-two punch. Yo, Adrian!
