Holiday LOOKING martini's/drinks?!
Anyone have any ideas?
Answers: Hi. I'm a bartend so I love making martini's, but I want to make one that LOOKS holidayish lol. none of that peppermint shnapps deal, just looks holidayish. I was thinking a midori or apple martini with grenadine on the bottom? something like that. Something red/green/white? layered?
Anyone have any ideas?
You could make a apple martini with a sugared rim and drop 3 cherries in it. We actually have a green apple flavored sugar and cherry flavored sugar and mix the 2 for the holidays.
I make a martini with orange vodka, blue curacao (I hope I spelled that right..lol) and orange juice. It comes out green if you mix it right and drop grenadine in it. It's good and easy to drink.
Make a washington apple martini and rim it with apple sugar.
go to foodnetwork.com. they have all sorts of holidays recipes including festive drinks.

Ok so I know this is supposed to look like a Mexican flag, but it is also christmas colors. so there. theres a picture of it here http://www.juliosaz.com/specdrinks.html
If you're a 'bartend' and love making 'martini's', you would know that a martini only ever contains gin and vermouth, except for a vodka martini or kangaroo which isn't a real martini at all.
So you can't make a 'holidayish' martini. I think you mean a cocktail. STOP CORRUPTING USAGE OF THE TERM
I say, make a apple martini, rim the glass with red sugar, place a cherry in the bottom of the glass, with a slice of red apple and a red straw. Happy Holidays is when the tips soar.
