I was feeling seriously uninspired when it came to posting a recipe this week. There really was nothing I felt like making–I just wanted to relax with a nice drink.
Then I thought “Hey, why do my recipes need to be child-friendly all the time?” I don’t drink much, but I know that a good cocktail recipe deserves sharing just as much as a good dinner or dessert! So I present to you, my first adults-only offering: The Pomegranate Martini!

My ingredients. I neglected to purchase orange juice, so I had to squeeze some fresh. This added to my prep time, but not a huge amount.
Rub a wedge of citrus along the rim of your glasses and then roll the rim in a plate of sugar.
Add ice and vodka to your shaker.
Add the pomegranate juice.
Then add your orange juice.
Shake!
Pour into sugar-rimmed glasses.
Top with cranberry juice.
Garnish with a slice of lime or orange, if you like, and let your cares drift away. Bottoms up!
