BERRY MARTINI - The Lipstick Kiss Martini will add some color to your kiss!

The Lipstick Kiss Martini is a really luscious, juicy martini full of fruity flavor. I created this martini a few years ago to take advantage of this huge bag of free, dried cherries someone gave me and to find another way to use Three Olives Berry Vodka which is one of my favorite fruit infused vodkas. It's still one of my favorite martinis.

I used fresh cherry juice and blackberry brandy along with the berry vodka and the "drunken cherries" which gave this martini a deep magenta color that was almost my favorite lipstick color - hence the name Lipstick Kiss Martini!

The drunken cherries are really easy to make, here's the recipe:

• Fill a small, really clean jar about 3/4 full with dried cherries
• Pour Three Olives Cherry (or berry in this case!) Vodka to the top, seal up the jar and let sit overnight.
• Don't worry about how long they'll keep - trust me they won't last that long!
• You can do this with any dried fruit and any flavored liquor!
• The fruit and the juice make a great topping for ice cream and desserts too!

Enjoy - oh, and don't bogart those "Drunken Cherries!"

Mango Martini - SEX on a Sandy Beach Martini

With summer fast approaching I start thinking about the beach. I love the beach. I love the warm sun, I love the smell of the ocean and I love relaxing on the sand with a cool drink. What I don't love is getting sand in everything from my tote bag to my bikini bottom.

The SEX on a Sandy Beach Martini is my take on the Sex on the Beach Cocktail - because if you have sex on the beach you're really gonna get sand in places you'd rather not get sand!

The fun part of this Mango and Fruit martini is the use of crushed vanilla wafers for your rimmer - it gives the rim a run sandy look. If you can find the seashell and gummi fish candies and those fun little cocktail umbrellas it really brings the theme of this beach and ocean martini home!

Here's to a lovely summer of fun & sun on the beach - just remember to bring your martinis and a blanket to keep the real sand out of your private spaces!

Lemoncello Martini - or is it Limoncello Martini?

GET MY RECIPE FOR THE
LEMONCELLO MARTINI RECIPE

Lemoncello or Limoncello? No matter how it's spelled it's a wonderful lemon liqueur that has recently begun popping up in cocktails and food in all the hot eateries. There are Lemoncello cocktails and Limoncello recipes showing up on all the "A" party menus and on all the celebrity recipe sites.

Even Danny DeVito has gotten aboard the Limoncello train with his own Limoncello Original - in fact, that was brand I used for my Lemoncello Martini above. I love Danny DeVito - how could I not buy his brand as my first bottle of this intriguing lemon liqueur? I won't buy too many bottles though - if he gets too rich off his Limoncello he might stop acting and I'd have lemonized myself out of future laughter.

In any event, I really enjoyed this new lemon martini recipe, it has a perfect balance of tart and sweet with that lovely citrus flavor that is so refreshing. I muddled in a few sprigs of Lemon Basil for some fun green color and that bit of earthy influence but that is optional, this Lemoncello Martini is just as good without the herb. You can also use a simple lemon twist instead of my Candied Lemon Peel for a garnish but you'll be missing a great treat!

I used up the whole bottle and created an entire dinner menu with a Lemoncello theme. I served up the Lemoncello Martinis, I made a Lemoncello Vinaigrette for my salad, marinated chicken in the Lemoncello, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic (and used some of the marinade in a Lemoncello sauce reduction) and then I used the Lemoncello in the sauce for my favorite Bread Pudding for the dessert.

Now I'm out of Limoncello - or is it Lemoncello?

Help me choose the Martini Recipes for my new Martini Book!

I am finally getting ready to put my first martini book together but I have a little problem - I have too many martini recipes for one book and have to choose from over 200 recipes I've created, collected and tweaked over the past few years.

I am creating a martini book that is, of course, chock full of my fun designer martini recipes (done up as fun recipe cards) as well as some short martini stories, my tips and tricks for making martinis, fun illustrations and a few surprises that will truly turn your cocktail time into a real Happy Hour of unique and delicious martinis and entertainment. The book will be a great handbook for your bar as well as a wonderful gift for friends and family.

Here's where you come in. I'm asking you to help me choose the martini recipes that will be included in my first book. I have every single one of my recipes posted on my RECIPE ARCHIVES PAGE at PopArtDiva.com and I'd like you to help me pick some of the most popular martini recipes I've posted.

You'll notice that some of my recipe cards still in the old formats and designs and some are now at a larger, high quality print resolution with new, fun graphics. I am currently converting all my recipe cards into higher resolutions for better print quality for the book and your choices will help me organize the order as well as decide which recipes to include in my first martini book!

Please drop me a comment here or e-mail me using the little envelope at the bottom of this post and tell me which of my martini recipes are your favorites. I will take the top martini choices and include them in the book.

Your readership and comments have helped make The Martini Diva one of the top martini sites on the Internet and I want to include you in the creation of what I hope to be one of the top martini books as well. I look forward to your choices, your comments and e-mails and I want to thank you for your continued support of The Martini Diva.
