What’s Your Favorite Martini Recipe?
Admin | Feb 21, 2009 | Comments 0
My all time favorite Martini is the Lemon Drop. In fact for years I just thought it was a great shot in a cool glass. I was ecstatic when I found out it was actually a variation of the Martini.
Oprah’s favorite Martini is the Pomegranate Martini. How can one complain about anti-oxidants and Vodka? Sex and the City fans helped spread the popularity of the Cosmopolitan.
I have a friend who took a week off of work just to try and create the perfect Martini. She ended up being an Appletini fan. Many hip restaurants feature a Chocolate Martini. And now the latest Martini craze seems to be the Espresso Martini.
