I figured, what better way to start off a blog about drinks than to post the recipe for my signature pomtinis. They are always a crowd favorite. The key to making a good drink is to home squeeze your own juice whenever possible. Any juice from concentrate, or out of a bottle, will just never taste quite the same as if you squeezed it yourself.
I must also note, one of the easiest ways to mix up a batch of martinis for a group of people is to throw all the ingredients into a nalgene bottle. Just add ice, ingredients, close and shake away!
With this recipe, measurements are for 1 nalgene of pomtinis, usually serves about 3.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups Pom-Mango juice
1.5 cups Titos Handmade Vodka
1/2 lime, squeezed
1 grapefruit, cut into wedges
1 can sprite
Fill nalgene about 1/3 the way with ice. Add Pom juice, vodka and lime juice (add more vodka and pom juice if there is still a lot of room in the nalgene, equal parts). Shake until frothy. Evenly distribute into martini glasses, only filling the glasses 2/3 of the way. Squeeze one wedge of grape fruit into each glass, leaving the wedge in the glass. Add a splash of sprite to each glass to top it off. Then... Enjoy!
*Note- try variations with different flavors of pom juice. Obviously any vodka will work, Titos is just my all time favorite.
