Desert Sun

(recipe from a magazine, I'm not sure which one)

"Summaiya Peterman has developed drink recipes for bars all over Manhattan, most recently the trendy Blue Water Grill.  This cocktail is among her summer favorites."

1 serving:

3 oz. Stolichnaya vodka
1 oz. Grand Marnier
1 oz. orange juice
Splash of lime juice
Grenadine

Combine the vodka, Grand Marnier, and citrus juices.  Shake and pour into a martini glass.  Finish with a splash of grenadine and serve.

(I made this in a pitcher for Ladies Night in my garden.  Joann, Alison, Ashley, and Kristen were in attendence, while Amy Casey joined us for a bit via wi-fi (!).  Since I don't have martini glasses, I served them in flutes, with an ice cube or two, and a splash of grenadine on top (found a lovely real grenadine with actual juices at Whole Foods).  Everyone agreed that these were VERY strong drinks.  And they looked like a sunset in a glass.  Cheers!)
