Fireside Martini


Fireside Martini

Serves 2.

The Mr. and I aren't typically ones to boast, but we felt pretty proud after making this drink. It tasted like something that should've been served to us at a fancy restaurant or chic bar. But no, my friends, we made this all by ourselves. And so can you.
So grab your honey, snuggle up by the fire, and enjoy a fancy cocktail without the high price.


2 parts vodka
1/2 part marschino liquer (we didn't have this and used 1/4 part grenadine instead)
2 parts pomegranate liquer
1 part triple sec
1/2 part sweet vermouth
6 dashes Angostura Aromatic bitters

1 lime wedge
fine sugar, for rimming the glass
2 lime wedges, for garnish

Chill martini glasses in freezer.
Rub 1 lime wedge around the rim of both glasses and then roll in fine sugar.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add remaining ingredients. Shake well and strain into prepared martini glasses. Garnish with additional lime wedges.
