Just because I am feeling like a Martini, I share this one with ya'll....enjoy!
Pomegranate Martini Ingredients
1 oz vodka (or citrus vodka, if you have it)1/2 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
3 oz pomegranate juice*
chopped ice
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice, for garnish
lemon slice, for garnish
sugar, for garnish
Pomegranate Martini Directions
Wet the rim of the cocktail glass with the lemon juice.Place sugar in a saucer and dip the rim of the cocktail glass into the saucer, to produce a ring of sugar stuck to the lemon juice as a decorative rim around the glass.
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker.
Add ice so that the shaker is about a third full (ice plus ingredients).
Shake for 20 seconds.
Strain into a cocktail glass.
Squeeze a couple of drops from the lemon slice into the glass, then garnish the side of the cocktail glass with the slice of lemon.
* You could use cranberry juice in place of the pomegranate juice for a new twist on a 'Cosmopolitan' cocktail - truly scrumptious!

Yum~ this looks wonderful! I look forward to having you on the Finish-A-Long on my blog.
I love pomegranate martini! And I love making it with fresh fruits, yes, it's got to be from scratch, lol! I always make sure to have pomegranate in the house whenever I see one at the grocery store. Well, I also keep one of those concentrated pomegranate drops in case of 'emergencies', lol!
