Virgin martini recipes?!


Question:

Virgin martini recipes?

I am having a party where alcohol will be served. My very good friend (who loves martinis) is 6 monthes pregnant, but I would like to make something non alcoholic as a fun surprise for her. I'm thinking something kind of fruity, does anyone have any virgin martini recipes that they've tried?
Thanks


Answers:

Unfortunately you're VERY unlikely to find a martini alternative. In the case of something like a Bloody Mary, the alcohol is an added shot or so to a large quantity of mixer, that way it's possilbe to use the mixer as a non-alcohic alternative, the same would be true of things like mudslides, fruit juice or soda based drinks. The martini, however, IS the alchol. It is a mix of gin or vodka and vermouth, 100% alcohol, maybe a tiny bit of flavoring like in an appletini but I doubt anyone would want to drink apple flavored syrup.

Try fun alternatives like a Shirley Temple which is made with ginger ale, grenadine syrup, and orange juice garnished with the maraschino cherry and slice of lemon. The ginger ale is commonly substituted with 7 Up, Sprite, or similar lemon-lime soft drink, and the orange juice is commonly left out. Or maybe "Mock champagne" — apple juice, ginger ale, and lemon juice.

Hope this helps! :)
