A Tequila Martini? Oooh You Speaka My Language!!!

Did someone say Happy Hour? It's Friday isn't it? These are absolutely wonderful and will make you forget you even went to work last week!


Update!!! After I posted this I made it with cranberry juice (ran out of pomegranate while testing recipe :)) and it was a little sweeter but really good! And then I ran out of simple syrup so I replaced that with triple sec and that really turned out great too! It's a tough job but...
I also tried half a rim of salt on my glass (you could use sugar if you prefer) and that was really good too! Maybe my end result is a margatini? What ever it's called it's yummy!!!!

Yum! I wish I'd seen this a bit sooner as I already stocked up on liquor for the weekend to forget what happened at work last week. ;-)

I'll give it a try soon, and get back to you with that hug. LOL

Wow! I've had grapefruit & pom martinis but never the combo! Wow! How pretty too. Sounds great, must give a try!
