Matter of fact, I’m officially renaming this drink “my happy place” martini. It really does make you wanna sway back and forth while smiling and saying “wooooooo!! wooooo!!!” I SO get you Orpah!!
This ruby-red, festive cocktail is great for Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day or any holiday really! (or if you’re the mother of a toddler and find yourself with a moment of me-time! Rare but it does happen trust me!)
This pomegranate martini is sweet, tart, crisp and will have the room feeling “jolly with laughter” in no time! Not to mention pomegranate packs a healthy antioxidant punch so hey, it’s a win-win in my book!
Talk about a cocktail that will sneak up on you!! Whew!! It’s so easy to sip on this pomegranate martini throughout the evening without even noticing that it has a double shot of vodka hiding in there so be careful.
I’ve tried a lot of pomegranate martini recipes  since I’ve been on a major pomegranate kick lately, and this one is by far my favorite!!! (a combination of two recipes actually)
