Today, I’m celebrating. Time to raise a glass and say “cheers!” I got the job!
It seems appropriate to honor this news with a freshly made Pomegranate Martini, a simple recipe that is ideal for serving during the your guests during the holidays. If you set out all of your ingredients in advance, this martini can be made in five minutes!
Grab a martini shaker and the following ingredients to prepare your bartending kitchen station:
- Pomegranate juice (I used Bai Antioxidant Infusion Ipanema Pomegranate because I didn’t have pure pomegranate juice on-hand.)
- Orange Juice (used pulp-free)
- Vodka
- Apple Juice
- Simple Syrup (heat 1/2 c. water, 1/2 sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves, then cool.)
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1-3 Lime rind curls for garnish in the bottom of the glass or hang over the rim

All you need to make this cocktail are two ingredients: apple juice and pumpkin vodka. I use Barnett’s pumpkin vodka, a cheaper distilled variety, but it has great flavor for any fall seasonal drink. So where does the spice come from? Add pumpkin spice to sugared graham cracker dust and rim your glass in it before pouring your shaken cocktail. I garnished this one with an red apple slice.
