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
