  • Holiday Pomegranate Martini

    2 votes
    Move over Cosmopolitan…The Pomegranate Martini is all the rage. This sexy ruby cocktail is loaded with antioxidants and full of flavor thanks to the fresh pomegranate juice. I love to drink pomegranate juice daily, adding it to iced green tea, so it makes sense to enjoy it in a pretty martini. It’s fruity, tart and not too sweet. Plus, adding a little orange liqueur and a splash of lime juice to complete this dreamy cocktail For the final touch, dip the glass in a bit of sugar, if desired and garnish with a lime slice. This is sure to wow your guest!

    Ingredients

    • 1 ounce vodka
    • ½ ounce Cointreau orange liqueur
    • 3 ounces pomegranate juice (I like Pom Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice)
    • Juice of ½ lime
    • 1 slice lime for garnish
    • Sugar to coat the martini glass rim, optional

    Directions

    1. 1. Dip the martini glass rim in water and then dip in a little sugar to coat the rim, if desired
    2. 2. Add vodka, Cointreau, pomegranate juice and lime juice in a cocktail shaker that has been ¼ filled with ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.
    3. 3. Garnish with a slice of lime and serve.
