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's Pomegranate Martini
Recipe courtesy of Oprah Winfrey
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.

Dear Irene,
Oprah's Pomegranate Martini's are a favorite of ours, too. JoJo and Erika have perfected them!!! They will definitely be a part of the poolside refreshments for our next Myrtle Beach vacation. Can't wait to see you all again.
Carrie is beginning to get a little baby bump...it is so exciting!!!
Loved the Christmas card, give those 3 handsome guys of yours a big hug for me & make sure to get one back from them.
Love you all and miss you a ton!
