Everyone once in a while... mom's need to stop and take some time to smell the roses -- or perhaps sip on a "Pearfect" martini. Well this mom (me) took some time out to celebrate with her dear friend, Karolynn. After raising her daughter, Karolynn went back to college and got her Bachelor's degree, which most certainly was cause to raise a glass (or two) in her honor.
It was such a beautiful evening in our childhood town of Edmonds and the perfect destination for this celebratory night. After a yummy dinner at Chopsticks, our favorite Chinese restaurant in Edmonds... we headed to Arnie's Restaurant to enjoy a perfect view of the sunset and, to our surprise, a fantastic martini called, "Pearfect!"
Neither one of us are big "drinkers," but this martini will be served at many of our future social gatherings -- or perhaps when "mom time" is overdue and Calgon is calling. Thanks to the very nice waitress who provided me with the recipe, I now have the pleasure of sharing this with you.
Pour the following into a shaker of ice:
1-1/4 oz Ablsolute Pear Vodka- 3 oz White Cranberry Juice
- 1/4 oz Simple Syrup
- 1/8 oz Cassis
- Shake & Strain into a martini glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
Cheers & Enjoy!!
