Pomegranate Martini – recipe
As promised, I will be re-posting the recipes from my luxurious Iraqi dinner party. Today I am starting with the pomegranate martinis we served before the first course.
I had never had a martini before this, and to be honest, I’m not sure I will have one after. They are just waaaayyyy to strong for me. I’m a margarita sort of girl. But, I like to try new things, and if you do too, then you should at least try this at least once.
Just a warning – this makes enough for 6 drinks. And, the original recipe can be found here. Please note that mine is much darker than theirs, but I was using jarred syrup as opposed to fresh made.
Ingredients:
3 Cups Vodka (I used Istanblue)
1/3 Cup dry Vermouth (I used Noilly Prat)
3/4 Cup Pomegranate Syrup
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
Directions:
Mix together and serve chilled. I pre chill all my alcohol so I didn’t need to pour the drink over ice, but you should if your alcohol is not cold enough.
Enjoy with your friends!
Serves 6.
holy delicious, lets get tipsy on some fall flavor!
