Thirsty Thursday... Cocktail time!

So - I have a pounding headache...
And, if the babies weren't here...
it would totally be cocktail hour...
so I got this idea...
rather than actually partaking in a cocktail...
with two toddlers running around...
at 3:00 in the afternoon... on a thursday...
Im gunna start sharing some of my favorite cocktail recipes...
From what we used to call "Thirsty Thursday" in college... he he he

This recipe found from http://www.drinksmixer.com/cat/1/

I am a HUGEEEE, HUGE fan of a Pomegranate Martini...
So much so, that when Zaq and I get engaged..
I spent a whopping $14 on one at the W...
it was worth every penny on that dream night...
but here in reality, I can't spend $14 every time I want a drink...
So here is the perfect recipe for the favorite Pomegranate Martini.

"1.5 oz Three Olives® Pomegranate Vodka
1 oz POM® pomegranate juice
1.5 oz fresh Blackberry Puree
1 oz cranberry juice

Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass."

Now - if your in the mood for a little texture...
You have to try this 5 fruit Sangria...
Every now and then we have bbq's...
and when we do, its kind of a rule that I have to make some Sangria...
Now, I put tons and tons and tons fruit in it...
Strawberries... Berries... Peaches... Apples... whatever I can get...
But here is a great recipe that you could totally add to if you want.
I found it here... http://www.wineintro.com/sangria/fivefruit.html

"Ingredients
1 bottle red wine
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup triple sec
1/2 cup sugar
1 6 oz bottle club soda
1 orange
1 lemon
1 lime
1 red apple
1 peach

Cut all fruits into wedges and put into a pitcher. Add in rest of the ingredients and stir well. Let sit for 2 hours or more. Serve over ice."

I know these are totally chick drinks...
so last but not least lets mention something for the guys...
or the girls... that like a good brew.
