Pomegranate (and other) MARTINIS... Not that great I guess you have to REALLY like pomegranate - who knew
BUT if you like foofie drinks (those of you who'll be entertaining over the holidays) these are some good shits: Just add vodka (rum/champagne, whatever liquor) & GO Here's all the flavors they have: the bold ones are the ones I recommend, italics are ones that aren't so hot, plain text means I haven't tried it... is it sad that I've tried MOST of them?? Apple Martini Bloody Mary Chocolate Martini Chocolate Peppermintini™ Cosmopolitan Espresso Martini Lemon Drop Mango Margarita Mojito Peach Bellini Pomegranate Spiced Apple Tangerini™ Traditional Margarita Watermelon Wild Blueberry Don't like Apple, but Spiced Apple is in the fridge. Don't judge, carry on, merry fucking Christmas... | |

Ooh I wonder if I can get that mix stuff that's posted above here in Holland. Probably not. I'm having a X-mas cocktail party on the 16th and I don't want to be stuck mixing drinks all night like I did last time. All the women walked in and literally said, (when they saw my martini glass ) "Oh hey! That's one of those Sex and the City drinks! Can you make me one too?" And then I was in the kitchen all night. I need something easier. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Fancy cocktail drinks are not popular at all here and you really can't even get them in most bars. I even went to some hyped-up "fancy, VIP" club with a Studio 54-type door policy in Amsterdam last weekend, and when I got up to the bar, the bartender didn't even know how to make anything other than vodka with a bottle of bitter lemon. So it always ends up being me doing all the work. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I usually spend TIME making drinks on holidays but this year was so damn easy - I spent 10 minutes on all the rounds combined I hope you can get your hands on them, or something comparable | |

They do have an American section at one store near me here, and also a British store. Maybe they have something there.

When I'm in the mood for it, I mix (approximately, to taste) equal parts Belvedere Vodka, Stirrings Chocolate Martini Mixer, and Pucker Strawberry Sweet & Sour Schnapps for a Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini that is delicious. Nearly tastes as good as the real thing. | |

I must absolutely try one of those.
I make a mean Cosmopolitan - sweet but will knock you on your butt. I love making Prosecco cocktails on XMas & Thanksgiving along with a slew of others I'm too lazy to mention. [Edited 12/5/06 12:44pm] | |

I'll have to really make a decision as to what I'm going to serve. I haven't even really given it much thought yet.

The kind where its all hard liquor but you dont taste it. Fresh juices and herbs for flavor. .. | |
