Thank you Oprah

If I didn't have to drive these kids to playdates, swim lessons, school, doctors appointments etc....I might be drinking these Pomegranate Martini's all day long. These are my new "mommy juice". I enjoyed quite a few on New Year's Eve Eve, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the day after new years, you get the idea. I ran out of pomegranate juice, and that shit is expensive, so I am off the juice for now....

Oprah loves martinis—and this is one of her favorites!

Ingredients:Serves 2
1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
2 ounces Absolute Citron vodka or white tequila
1 ounce Cointreau liquor
Cup of ice
Splash of sparkling water (optional)
Squeeze of lemon (optional)

Shake ingredients in a shaker and put in chilled martini glasses. Put pomegranate fruit into glass as garnish.

And if it makes you feel better about drinking them, pomegranate juice is loaded with antioxidants, so it's good for you!

It is obvious that I am still more fun when I'm drunk because even my hubby was mixing them for me ;) Or maybe he thought there was something in it for him...wink wink.
