Holiday Pomegranate Martini

Move over Cosmopolitan…The Pomegranate Martini is all the rage. This sexy ruby cocktail is loaded with antioxidants and full of flavor thanks to the fresh pomegranate juice. I love to drink pomegranate juice daily, adding it to iced green tea, so it makes sense to enjoy it in a pretty martini. It’s fruity, tart and not too sweet. Plus, adding a little orange liqueur and a splash of lime juice to complete this dreamy cocktail For the final touch, dip the glass in a bit of sugar, if desired and garnish with a lime slice. This is sure to wow your guest!
