Martini Thursday!!!


Sangriatini

Greetings Divas and Gents! And welcome to another edition of Martini Thursday! This week’s martini comes at the request of my bloggy friend Bessie over at Bravoe Runway. This week’s recipe combines brandy, red wine, and fruit flavors to create the Sangriatini. For this martini, I have 2 preparation suggestions: the first takes 1 day to make, and the second takes 2 days. If you’re short on time, go for the first recipe. If you have a little time to plan ahead, go for the second. I also suggest that you use a sweet red wine and 100% fruit juice (where applicable) to get the best flavor. So what’s it going to be…recipe 1 or recipe 2? Either way, I think the Sangriatini is a winner…but you’ll let me know right? Perfect! Enjoy!
