If you wanna stay in plan a "Girls Nite In" with some of your best chic friends. Make a gourmet pizza together, bottle of Pinot Grigio maybe or you can have fun mixing up some martinis. I found a cool website www.martiniart.com. A great resource is cute and fun. You can order everything from books on the history of martinis to girls nite out novelty items. A girls fav martini has to be a Cosmo so I pulled the recipe from the site.
Ingredients
4 ounces of freezing Skyy or Stolichnaya vodka.
1 ounce of refrigerator chilled Cointreau.
1 ounce of Absolut Citron vodka.
2 orange rind twists.
2 very, very thin orange slices.
1 lime cut in half.
3 ounces of cranberry juice.
1 ounce of pomegranate juice.
2 ounces of Naked orange juice.
4 drops of Amaretto.
The mix
Fill a glass shaker (we suggest a Boston style) 1/2 full with cracked ice.
Turn on your hi-tech stereo system and impress your guest(s). Maybe some Fergie, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani. Into your shaker, pour your vodkas and cranberry juice.
Give the shaker a good ten or fifteen shakes.
Add your Cointreau, pomegranate juice and orange juice.
Squeeze in the juice of half a lime.
Another twenty (thirty if you are up to it) shakes.
Strain your beautiful cocktail into two frozen cosmo or martini glasses.
Each drink gets 2 drops of Amaretto.
Gently float a slice of orange on top of each drink.
On top of each orange, delicately lay a rind twist.
Take a breath and be prepared to make more...it's a given.
Enjoy yourself this weekend. Live Life.
xoxo,
Andrea Fenise
