Pomegranate Martini
I really am not a connoisseur when it comes to martinis. Give me a good micro brew any day. But when offered one, I will not refuse. After all, they are delicious! My recent post about a recipe for Candy Cane Martinis has lead me to notice something- a great deal of people have found my blog by searching the word "martini". So for the numerous martini lovers out there, I bring you another recipe that my sister found and made for me.
This was a delicious martini, though it differed from most in that it was very heavy on the fruit juice. For the second batch my sister ended up almost doubling the amount of vodka and cointreau. (Or, you could simply use less pomegranate juice if you wanted a stronger martini.)

Candy Cane Martini
My sister and brother-in-law can make a mean drink. From her Margaritas to his Limoncello Martinis... wow. At a recent birthday party he treated me to one of these beauties. Now if you love peppermint and you love candy canes, you will love this drink because it is heavy on the mint. I hit him up for the recipe so I could share this beautiful shot with you.
