pomegranatini

Two weeks ago, we went over to Jenny and Ken's for dinner. We were responsible for bringing wine, but I was looking for something with a little more zing. Recently we had wonderful pomegranate martinis out at a restaurant, so my goal was to recreate that drink. I scanned a bunch of recipes on the web and came up with my own concoction. I must say, I was successful. So much so that Ken forbade me from bringing him a refill because he knew the drink was silent, but deadly. TASTY. Because we had pomegranate juice leftover, Bobbie and I have been enjoying pomegranatinis frequently. Sadly, we've used up the vodka....

  • Fill a water glass with ice.
  • Fill the glass half-way with vodka
  • Add a splash of cointreau
  • Squirt in some lemon juice
  • Add a splash of pomegranate juice
  • Add a splash of seltzer or club soda
  • Stir and then strain into two martini glasses
  • Garnish with a twist of lemon
  • Enjoy, and don't get into any political discussions with Bobbie

P.S. We eventually ate dinner and we also had wine. But I can't really remember that part of the evening.....
