Friday night Mike & I decided we'd make up our own Martini Night as we attempted our hand at a 'Dirty Martini' for him and a 'Flirtini' for me. We had fun trying to get each recipe just right and enjoyed drinking them out of our cute new 'Pokertini" hand-painted martini glasses. They were part of our Las Vegas themed Christmas gift thanks to Mike's parents Tom & Kay, which included the glasses, plane tix to Vegas in March and a little gambling $$, too!Mike's Dirty Gin Martini recipe:
2 shots Bombay Sapphire gin
splash (about 1tblsp.) vermouth
up to 1 shot olive juice from the jar
shake with ice and garnish with olives
Laura's Flirtini recipe:
1 shot Sky vodka
2 shots pineapple juice
shake with ice and top off with champagne (I prefer the cheap-o Andre over anything else)
Mike shakes (not stirred of course)
our custom built bar in our basement (thanks Dad- we love it!)
Yum!
