I enjoy drinking. I drink occasionally and I love it. My favorite alcoholic drinks range from…sweet “martini’s,” margaritas, cosmopolitans, tequila shots, sweet beer….and the list goes on. I have tried “whiskey” in the past, but never ever had an acquired taste for it. So whiskey was banished from my list of “no-no’s” on my favorite alcoholic drinks. In the past, I’ve had many bad experiences from drinking. It all started from a former best friend from high school that pushed me to the “edge of the wall” to pressure me into drinking. I did not appreciate that and met great new people in my life who love to drink socially and at the same time…enjoy each other’s company. How fun is that?
With my many adventures of experiencing yummy, alcoholic beverages and drinks made me come to realization what my favorite “drink” was. And so I thought I wanted to create a yummy, delicious, but yet flirty, and fun drink for myself. I was actually over at my cousin’s house several days ago looking after his beautiful 5-year-old daughter who is such a “doll.” I love her to death. My cousin and I started discussing about our favorite types of drinks. He had a collection of amazing wine, champagne, vodka, and you name it…pretty much every good, tasting alcohol in his bar area. We decided to create and mix a flavorful, but yet with a twist of colorful fun to my personal “martini” drink. Coming up with a “martini’ name was going to be difficult. And indeed it was.
Luckily, my cousin had an array of colorful, yummy-looking fresh fruits in his fridge. Thank god…because without them, my personal “martini” drink would not have been finished without the proper ingredients for a great, tasting “martini.” What consisted in my personal “martini” drink was….
- 2 oz. Raspberry vodka
- ½ oz. of Cranberry juice
- 2 oz. Raspberry liqueur
- 2-3 small fresh raspberry fruits (optional)
This is my own personal, flavorful, but yet flirty “martini” drink. It’s a bit on the sweet side because I love my drinks sweet and flavorful. My “martini” has a hint of delicious, fresh raspberry fruits that are “oh-so-yummy.” Not only did my martini came out exactly the way I wanted…but deliciously perfect as well. My cousin even had a small taste for himself. After a couple sips of my yummy “martini,” he was pretty much “hooked” onto this favorite new drink of mine. Yes…I have successfully created a magnificent drink! My personal “martini” is a very “girly,” and “fruity” drink….so if you are not a huge fan of very sweet drinks…this is not the drink for you folks. Sorry. If you love sweet, playful, and flirty-fun drinks, give my sweet, personal “martini” a taste!
