Martini Break!!!

Strawberry Lemonade Martini

Its Thursday Divas…so you know what that means. It’s time for another great martini recipe! This week’s recipe was inspired by McDonald’s new beverage, the Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. Don’t judge! I told you I get my inspiration from everywhere! And this recipe is no exception. My biggest obstacle with this recipe was figuring out how to turn a frozen drink into a martini. Then I remembered that I am Diva, and I can do whatever I want! And so I did. This recipe calls for a blender, so dust it off and let get to making the Strawberry Lemonade Martini!

Ingredients

3 oz of Your Favorite Vodka

1 Cup of Fresh Strawberries

1 oz of Lemon Juice

1 Teaspoon of Sugar

Lemon Wedges for Garnish

Lemon Juice for Garnish

Cocktail Sugar for Garnish

Ice

Recipe

1. Wet the rim of a chilled martini glass with lemon juice, and lace with cocktail sugar. Set aside.

2. In a blender, puree strawberries in a blender with lemon juice and sugar. Mixture should be smooth and should pour easily.

3. In a shaker, combine vodka, ice, and strawberry-lemon mixture. Shake!

4. Strain mixture into the waiting martini glass.

5. Garnish with a lemon wedge.

 
Not quite the same as McDonald’s frozen Strawberry Lemonade, but I don’t think you Divas mind that much! Enjoy your Strawberry Lemonade Martini, and enjoy your weekend. Drink Responsibly!

Martini Break!

Raspberry Lemonade Mojito Martini

It’s so funny where you find inspiration. Each week, I try to give you Divas a new martini recipe. Earlier this week, one of my Twitter followers asked me where I get ideas for my recipes. I told her that these ideas come from everywhere…a conversation with a friend; a college memory; chocolate withdrawal (See The Choco Latte Martini). This week’s recipe was inspired by a beverage I had a Cosi during lunch yesterday. It was a Raspberry Mojito Lemonade, and it was absolutely fantastic! It was non-alcoholic of course, as I did have to go back to work. But it got me to thinking of a new twist on the classic mojito. Just like that, the Raspberry Lemonade Mojito Martini was born! (Try saying it three times fast!) I hope you like it!

Ingredients

3 Mint Leaves

3 oz Light Rum

2 oz Raspberry Lemonade

1 oz Lime Juice

1 Teaspoon of Sugar

Ice

Lemon Wedges for Garnish

1. In a martini shaker, muddle mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice for about 2 minutes.

2. Add Rum and Raspberry Lemonade (Simply Lemonade is Awesome!). Shake!

3. Strain mixture into a chilled martini glass.

4. Garnish with a Lemon.

There it is! A new recipe created from random inspiration…story of my life! Enjoy! And drink responsibly!
