Pomegranate Libation (and Mommy liberation)

I tell ya, as the working-from-home mother of two, the end of my day is punctuated with my knitting, my carefully chosen and DVR’d show on the TV and my pomegranate martini. And I also tell ya, some days it seems like this is the ONLY formula of elements that allows me to retain my fragile sanity. So, for all you over-worked and under rested moms who need a simple to make yet uber delicious (and healthy!!!) drink to end your day, this one is for you:

Pomegranate Martini

1 ounce citrus vodka
1 ounce pomegranate liqueur
1 ounce cranberry juice
ice

1. Combine the liquids in a drink shaker that contains about 1 cup of ice cubes (this isn’t science, don’t go crazy trying to measure one cup of ice cubes, guestimate already!)
2. Secure the lid on the shaker and take your frustrations out on that baddie, shaking until the liquid looks frothy. About 1 minute should do it. Longer if you’ve had a particularly bad day. DO not do this if your kids are light sleepers. If they are step out into the backyard then shake like crazy.
3. Pour into a martini glass, take a deep breath, and relax!
