View Full Version : Martinis
xkrazybaby67x 03-05-2008, 11:18 AM I LOVE martinis. Anyone have terrific recipes? A cool thing that we do is we have a martini party. What that means is that everyone brings their own martini glass that they are to leave at the house that the party is at, thus making someones martini glass collection. This is a great housewarming party idea that we have done for 3 of my friends who recently got their own places :)
My martini of choice is:
2 oz. citrus vodka of your choice
1 oz. ruby red grapefruit juice
1 oz. pineapple juice
a splash of tripple sec
yum yum :) let me know if any of you have any to die for recipes :)

carolina76 04-26-2008, 09:46 PM let me know when your next one is coming up. i have tons of martini recipes. I am a bar and restaurant consulant so I have lots of drink recipes period. just make sure that if you are using vodka, use grain vodka and not potato vodka. it will say on the bottle what type is what...

Mrs.I84 07-13-2008, 12:23 AM There is one called the love martini (its sweet) super yummy!
X-rated liquor 1oz
Peach schnapps 1/2 ounce
Cranberry Juice
Float of champagne on top
So u mix like any other martini and strain into glass after you take champagne and poor just a little on top so it floats (poor champagne at the very edge of glass slowly) I like to cut strawberries and float them on top of this martini!
