Really it's 6 or 7 stars...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Outstanding, delicious and buzz-guaranteed. Sip slowly, very slowly. Halfway through the first one you start to feel it--like... what you might expect from illicit drugs. One down and you're humming. Two down too quickly and you're drunk. Be careful, take 'em slowly and enjoy this outrageous Martini. For the lightweights who complain that it's too strong, what I have found really good is to add 1 cup of FRESH squeezed orange juice to the batch. It's less like a Martini that way--and it's easier to drink, so be careful. But it takes longer this way for these cocktails to kick your @$$ into oblivion. Read more

Make Mine A Double!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you like a strong martini and you like pomegranate than this is your go-to drink! As a previous reviewer rightly wrote,... however, a key "ingredient" in enjoying this alcoholic beverage is to remember it's a serious martini----not punch (although it does pack a good one!). I used the Trader Joe's pomegranate juice and Triple Sec (Cointreau is just too expensive for my wallet) and Absolute vodka. Freeze your glasses in advance, garnish with a lime slice and then get prepared to party hardy (with a designated driver). Read more

Excellent Cocktail!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my go to recipe for cosmopolitans. I use cranberry juice most of the time but during the holidays I love using the... pomegranate juice. This is the only cosmo recipe you need. A note to those that think it is too strong - duh, its mostly alcohol. I like my drinks strong, not too sweet but with plenty of flavor - this is it. Thanks again Ina!Read more

Best Cosmo Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love to have a pitcher of these in the fridge when my girlfriends come over for book club. They are easy to prepare and... everyone raves about these, even my manly soldier husband. I make these the night before my guests arrive and just pour as they walk thru the door.Read more
