Pomegranate Martini

You know how the saying goes, “don’t cry over spilled milk?” Well, today I learned that it’s totally OK to cry over spilled Godiva White Chocolate Liquor. Yes, I spilled, I did cried, I ruined a cocktail, and again, I cried. That stuff is like gold!

I decided to finish off the 2012 with a collection of cocktails, just in time for the New Year’s parties. I will be sharing a new cocktail every day until the end of the year. For today, I had a brilliant idea to try mixing white chocolate and pomegranate in a cocktail.

That idea totally backfired. NOT a good combination and does not work.

I was super excited to try this combination though because white chocolate goes great with raspberry. I through it would be great with pomegranate as well. Liquor had a different idea. They did not agree to mix.

Once I got to the step with pomegranate liquor, the whole glass of Godiva curled. Ouch!

Whole thing in the trash. So I tried pomegranate juice instead of liqueur and it curled too.

So scrapping that crazy idea, I went with a delicious, simple pomegranate martini. Sometimes, a simple recipe is the best one.

This pomegranate martini may not be fancy or extravagant but the taste is simply amazing. I see it becoming an instant classic like a Cosmopolitan Martini.
