It has been WAY too long since I posted a martini recipe! Let's get your weekend started off right with a delicious martini. This one uses the delicious juice of the blood orange. You might have to go to a high end grocery story, like Whole Foods, to find blood oranges. If you can't find blood oranges, look for blood orange soda (San Pellegrino makes a great one!).
2 oz. citrus vodka
2 oz. freshly squeezed blood orange juice (or blood orange soda)
1/2 oz. lemon juice
Pinch of sugar
Splash of grenadine
Rim a martini glass with sugar. Over ice in a cocktails shaker, combine all ingredients. Shake well and strain into glass. Garnish with a cherry or orange slice, if desired. Enjoy!
