PROJECT RUNWAY 11 MARTINI - Make It Work!

Another season of one of my guilty pleasures, Project Runway, started last night with "There is No "I" in Team".  I'm really liking the new team concept and I'm all ready for a new season of the sweet Tim Gunn, some great "omg, that is fugly" looks from Heidi and the salacious pleasure of watching the Snarkfest of the contestants, what about you??

Let's grab our martini glasses, flick on the flat screens and get ready for some designer dish and fashionista fun!

THE PROJECT RUNWAY MARTINI

MAKE IT WORK!

INGREDIENTS

 2 OZ. THREE OLIVES LOOPY VODKA

(This is a fruit loops flavored vodka, which I thought was snidely appropriate to all the fruit loopy contestants)

1 CUP OF MIXED BERRIES

(because Project Runway is a huge sewing basket full of fruits & nuts)

JUICE OF 1/2 LEMON

(for the acidic and tart comments from both contestants and judges)

SPLASH OF SODA

(for the effervescent Heidi)

SEVERAL FRESH BERRIES

(For the berry astute Nina)

AGAVE SYRUP

(for the sweetalicious Tim Gunn)

SHIMMER WHITE SUGAR CRYSTALS

(for all the bling and flash)

TOOLS

Fashionista Style Vintage Crystal Martini Glass

Classically Fashionable Retro Cocktail Shaker

Fashion Forward Cocktail Pick

Plain Old Strainer

INSTRUCTIONS

 Dip your martini glass in the agave syrup and then into the Shimmer White Sugar Crystals and chill in the freezer.  Put the cup of mixed berries and the lemon juice into the bottom of a cocktail shaker and muddle really well so all the juices are released.  Add a cup of ice to your cocktail shaker, pour in the Loopy Vodka and shake until well chilled.  Your cocktail shaker will frost over when the martini is chilled well.

Strain this into your chilled martini glass, skewer the berries onto your fashion forward cocktail pick, lay this across the martini and enjoy during every episode of Project Runway Season 11.

 AUF WIEDERSEHEN!
