Favorite Martini Recipes Like Cosmo’s, Lemon Twist and Chocolate

by admin on May 24, 2009

My favorite martini recipes are listed below for your enjoyment.  When you are looking for a great martini recipe, it is important to select quality products for your drink mix.  There are many types of drink mixes, liquors and flavor enhancers that you can select from. 

 

Remember, you must start with a chilled glass for the perfect martini.  A great martini is born when you vigorously shake the ingredients (vodka or gin and other ingredients) in a martini shaker filled with ice.  Then pour into a chilled martini glass.  The colder it is, the more delicious the martini.  The secret to a great martini cocktail is to prevent any warming of any kind.

 

Don’t forget to order your special, custom-made  Bling-tini ® Martini Glass adorned with Swarovski Crystals handcrafted by Janice Nickole.
