Pomegranate Vodka Cointreau Martini
This one is delicious and a real winner. You can use fresh Pom Juice (a bit of work) or Pom Juice from a bottle. Get yo-self some Vodka and Cointreau and a piece of citrus and you are in business.
Equipment
- Cocktail Shaker
- Baby Cuisinart If going with Fresh Pom Juice
- Strainer If going with Fresh Pom Juice
Ingredients
- 3 oz Vodka (I like Titos)
- 3 oz Pomegranate Juice (fresh ????)
- 1.5 oz Cointreau (orange flavor)
- 3/4 oz Fresh Citrus (one lime or half a juicy lemon)
- 1 Tbl Simple Syrup - Optional (1/2 sugar / 1/2 water simmered and cooled)
Instructions
Determine if you are using fresh Pom Juice
- If using fresh pom juice - deseed a pom. Place arils in a baby cuisinart or blender. Pour mixture through a strainer to get out the seeds. Use only the juice.
- Or Pour juice out of a bottle.
Determine if you are wanting a squirt of additional sweetness
- Suggest you make it once without sweetness and then with and decide how you like it. Any which way you'll be happy - it's kind of a game time decision for me. I bought an OXO squirt bottle and have simple syrup in the fridge. It lasts a month or more. ---> Add equal parts Sugar and water to a small pan. Simmer till sugar dissolved into water. Cool and save in fridge up to a month.
Add Cocktail ingredients into cocktail shaker
- Shake.
- Pour
- Enjoy.
