I have had a string of company the last few weeks and with the weather finally warming up, it has put me in a festive entertaining mood!
My last visitor and I decided to do some girly indulging and wanted to try out a new martini recipe. Now, I have never been a big martini drinker with the exception of when going to a few great clubs here in town that have amazing martini menu’s. Here at home it’s either wine or margaritas. So, we found a martini recipe to try out. Its an Emerald martini. (recipe below)
I then realized that I was lacking in appropriate glassware for this occasion. I only have 2 martini glasses and they are plain.
Plain won’t do when you are celebrating with a festive Girls Rock event! (it must have been in the air with the new Sex and the City movie opening this past weekend!)
So, off to find Martini glasses and to share with you what I found -
Now, back to the recipe we tried. I wasn’t thrilled with it. Although it was a pretty emerald green color, it was too sweet and syrupy for me. So, we revised the recipe and created a pretty purple drink which was lighter and more enjoyable (for us that is)
Emerald Martini recipe:
3/4 oz. melon liqueur
3/4 oz blue curacao
1 1/2 oz. citrus-flavored vodka
Our revised recipe -we didn’t measure, it was just a splash of this and a splash of that!
Cranberry juice
Limon Izzie
melon liqueur
blue curacao
Citrus-flavored vodka
Now, back to the glasses, what is so fun about the glasses I found was that they have martini recipes on the bottom of them! And fun designs!
But, seriously, what is more diva, sexy fun when with some girlfriends then to make some great martini’s served in fun glasses??
Do you have a favorite Martini recipe you could share with me?
