Martini Mondays!


Last night Nick and I had a few people over to celebrate Martini Mondays. It was great. Until I got up this morning! I haven't drank like that in a LONG time. I'm actually pretty impressed with myself that I did get up and come to work today! We tried four different martinis. Here's what they were:

The Indiana Martini:
   * 1.25 oz. Smirnoff Raspberry Flavored Vodka
    * 0.25 oz. triple sec
    * 3 oz. lemon-lime soda
    * 1 piece cherry

The Ultimate Blue Cosmopolitan:
* 1 oz. Citrus Vodka
    * .5 oz. blue curacao
    * 1 oz. white cranberry juice
    * 1 squeeze fresh lime juice
    * 1 piece lemon zest twist

The Vodka Royal Cosmopolitan:
* 1 oz. Citris Vodka
    * .5 oz. champagne
    * 1 oz. cranberry juice
    * 1 splash triple sec
    * 1 splash lime juice
    * 1 twist orange

And the Lemon Drop Martini:
* 1.25 oz. Vodka
    * .25 oz. triple sec
    * .75 oz. lemon juice


They were good and we had a great time. I think my favorite was the blue one or the royal one. They were delicious!

All in all, Martini Mondays are fun, but must be used sparingly.
