Tips

Use good quality spirits. The better the ingredients, the better your cocktail will taste. With all of the vodkas on the market, I use Stoli, Absolut, Ketel One, or Grey Goose to make a martini.

Freshly squeezed lemon juice is always best, but the pomegranate juice will mask the flavor, so no one will know if you use bottled lemon juice.

The drink’s color will change based on the brand of pomegranate juice you buy. I’ve found that POM Wonderful Antioxidant Superpower juice gives the deepest ruby red color.

For a smooth tasting, not too sweet non-alcoholic triple sec syrup try this one.

Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further

Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun. 

I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!

Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?

And don’t forget the chilled martini glass. Nothing is worse than a martini in a warm glass. Check out these 2 that I recommend. Joy Jolt set of 6 martini glasses in multi-colors and Crafthouse by Fortessa, set of 4 martini glasses. They are both dishwasher safe.

But if ‘bling’ is your style, you can find the bling martini glasses (top photo) here. They make great holiday gifts for your entertaining friends. Of course, don’t forget to buy a pair for yourself.

How to make a Pomegranate Martini

For an extra frosty martini, chill your glass in the freezer for about 15 minutes before preparing your cocktail.

Pour the Vodka, pomegranate juice, Cointreau, lemon juice, and triple-sec syrup into a shaker half full of ice, and let it sit for a minute. Shake for 15 seconds and pour the strained ingredients into a chilled martini glass.

Optional Garnish: Finish your Pomegranate Martini by garnishing it with a few pomegranate seeds, a sprig of rosemary or a twist of lemon peel. This not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the drink’s aroma.

Now enjoy the moment with your guests.

The Pomegranate Martini is a delightful and festive addition to your holiday party menu. Its rich red color, tangy-sweet flavor, and elegant presentation make it a crowd-pleaser that will undoubtedly become a favorite at your gatherings. So, why not raise a glass and toast to the holiday season with this delightful cocktail? Your guests will be impressed, and you can savor the festive spirit in every sip. Cheers to the holidays!
