It has been far too long since we had a cocktail...hasn't it?! Who knew a martini could have antioxidant benefits! This is one of the best recipes I have tried...trust me!!! Don't use that colored sugar water they sell at the liquor store called pomegranate martini mix!

Recipe:

Martini

3 oz Beefeater Gin
1/2 oz dry vermouth
Shaker filled with ice
Olives with pimentos

Fill martini glass with ice and water and chill in the freezer. Fill shaker with ice and pour liquor over the ice into the shaker. With a long spoon stir vigorously for about 1 minute. Remove the martini glass from freezer and empty water and ice. Strain martini into the glass and add three olives on a toothpick or cocktail pick.

Well not quite a mojito, my version...which has vodka instead of rum and lemon instead of limes. Now that I think of it, that's not really a mojito at all... rats! It's a darn good cocktail though, so you should try it! Mint is one of the easiest herbs to grow, it acts much like a weed, a tasty weed that has tons of uses. I'm thinking I could really go for one of these when I get home from work...care to join me?! : )
