Dirty Martini Society

In search of a signature cocktail to start the year off right I decided to begin my adventure at the Sunday Farmer’s Market. Wandering around the vast tents of fruit vendors my mind went over all the possible concoctions I could experiment with. Just then my sights settled on the pomegranate stand. Thinking they would be out of season soon I grabbed a mini armload and transported safely back to my homegrown laboratory. What I came up with was a very interesting version of what many consider to be a pomegranate martini.



• 4 Parts Vodka (preferably Grey Goose, but Stoli works as well)
• 1 Part Simple Syrup
• 1 Part Triple Sec
• 3 Parts fresh pomegranate juice
• Shaken over ice
• Pour into a highball glass (martini glass works as well)
• Garnish with pomegranate seeds

This may be a little strong to the taste (DMS members tends to like’em strong), so feel free to play around the ingredients. I haven’t come up with a name for this cocktail as of yet, but my working name is the Pomegranate Cosmo.

Yeah, I know, no post since the Treasure Island Music Festival. For Shame. Well the good news is that the DMS is back from a lengthy vacation, and ready for the new year. Upcoming we got a long overdue shout out for Dirty Sue, an olive juice product, that spices up any cold martini. Also, we are unveiling a new section entitled "From College to Couture," in which we show you how to take your post college wardrobe from Hoodie to Houndstooth and not break the bank.

It's good to be back.
