Color, Color, Color and more COLOR! Pink Martini is perfect for this holiday season
That is the underlying theme for all drinks at parties I went to this holiday season.
That has been my curious observation.
I have seen completely mesmerized by green drinks, aqua drinks, yellow drinks, purple drinks and fresco drinks. Not to mention Chocolate Drinks….
So, I decided to make a colorful martini also. My contribution to the colorful drink party theme is the Pink Martini.
Now, I know what you are thinking. “That is NOT pink!”. I assure you that it is. My picture is only slightly enhanced. In real life, you will notice that it is a pink martini.
What makes it pink is the Hypnotiq harmonie. This is a pink vodka made from all kinds of fruits and flowers.
Personally, I am not a drinker. I have had less than a handful of drinks over my entire life. This drink is for people in my life who like to drink martinis. My Pink martini has been a hit with them this season.
Other than the pink martini, I also made a green martini. This was made using Hypnotiq’s signature product. Technically, it was supposed to turn out sky blue in color. Unfortunately, it was more on the green side, so, it became the green martini.
I love putting all these drinks together. They come out so colorful and I am completely mesmerized by their beauty.
If you are looking for more colorful drinks, I have a cantaloupe martini to die for! Or, my favorite blackberry martini that has become my favorite party drink.
Are you mesmerized by colorful drinks?
