Pomegranate Martini

October 30, 2017 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Today, I’m celebrating. Time to raise a glass and say “cheers!”

It seems appropriate to honor good news with a freshly made Pomegranate Martini, a simple recipe that is ideal for serving your guests while entertaining. 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

How do you celebrate the best moments of your life? With a dinner out on the town? A champagne toast with your favorite peeps? Here’s wishing you a happy upcoming holiday season full of only good news to take you into the new year!

Salted Caramel Apple Martini

June 24, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

I don’t need to wait for the fall season to enjoy a Salted Caramel Apple Martini especially when the last drop is like a sweetened caramel kiss waiting just for me. Why should you?

Try my take on this typically seasonal cocktail anytime you’re craving notes of apple. It’s the perfect compliment as a dessert drink after…well, anytime. Sip it after a summer barbecue pulled pork dinner or when the crisp air beckons fall.

This cocktail comes with a kiss-a caramel one.
This cocktail comes with a kiss-a caramel one.

The trick to enjoying the “caramel kiss” is to drizzle warmed caramel ice cream topping sauce inside the martini glass and rotate it until it perfectly coats the glass. Just when you start to feel sad that your cocktail glass is near empty, pucker up! Your caramel kiss awaits in the bottom of the glass.

Peach Pie Martini

June 22, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Capture the taste of homemade, fresh-baked peach pie in a glass with this amazing martini. Baking a pie can takes some serious dedication, but you can have the best of both worlds in just five minutes by shaking up this delightful Peach Pie Martini.

This martini recipe is the perfect complement to a backyard barbecue.

(I prefer to leave the peach skin on when pureeing it. You can also substitute any other fruit-flavored vodka to create another pie flavor.) Recipe below!
