Pomegranate Martinis

At our Christmas Open Houses, we serve a yummy Pomegranate Martini.  So many asked for the recipe, we decided to post it. 

They’re very simple and this recipe serves 2:

4oz   100% pomegranate or blueberry juice

2oz   Citron Vodka

1oz   Triple Sec

Combine over ice and shake to chill.  Strain as you pour into glasses.  Try Blueberry Juice for refreshing summer martini.

Summer Hummer (Sum'a Hum'a)

1 tub Crystal Light Lemonade mixed according to pkg directions

1C  - Lime vodka

Mix well & service over ice.  For a St Pat’s day variation use any green beverage mix.

Brenda's Bourbon Slush

This is a Kansas tradition I refuse to give up.  I keep a bucket (lidded ice cream pail) in our freezer all summer.  There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer night.  Thaw for approx 20 min before serving - it's wonderful alone in a glass like a slushy or mixed with soda for a lighter drink.
