The Sparkler Martini - a Watermelon Cocktail for Independence Day
20100701
The Fourth of July Martini is an explosive experience!
The Fourth of July Martini should get the fireworks started in your mouth - it's rimmed with Pop Rocks! Yes, I said Pop Rocks. Notice I used the Grenadine as the "glue" for the pop rocks rim - that's because it's more syrupy and will hold the chunkier rimmers better. It also is less likely to set off the pop rocks like lemon juice or one of the liquors.
However, if the Pop Rocks still start to explode while you're rimming the glass like a couple of mine did you can always just toss them in just as you serve the drink. Then it's like a fireworks display in the martini instead of in your mouth!
Enjoy - it's a fun, fruity martini with a nice red color from the grenadine. If you can find them it might be fun to toss in a blue Maraschino cherry instead of a red one!

The Red,White & Booze Martini for the 4th of July
The Red, White White & Booze Martini is a fun pineapple and coconut martini with just a hint of blueberry from the vodka. It's a white martini with a fun drizzle of grenadine that settles to the bottom for a fun red layer and blueberries for the blue garnish.
The shredded coconut rim adds an interesting crunch to each sip but feel free to leave it off if you're not a fan of dried coconut.

SKITTLES INFUSED VODKA RECIPE & SKITTLES MARTINI RECIPE!
Below is the recipe for making your Skittles Infused Vodka:
The biggest thing in the cocktail world right now is flavored booze. It's wonderful but can be expensive and there's no reason you can't make your own! (Check out my post on How to make Flavored Vodka.)
One of the original candy infused booze crazes is Skittles candy infused vodka and above is a separate recipe card with the instructions on how to make it. That's right, those tart little buttons of grape, cherry, lemon, lime and orange you love so much make for some fun vodka flavors! The colors of the finished vodka are beautiful - bright and rainbow colored little bottled gems that look wonderful on your bar!
Try your hand at making some of these fun, candy infused vodkas - the gift set idea is a great way to see if you like them first - just drop 8 or ten skittles in a clean glass jar with the vodka from one of the mini bottles and follow the rest of the recipe. But trust me, if you like Skittles and you like vodka, just go for the full sized bottles.
