Winter White Martinis
Posted by Lisa in Entertaining on November 13th, 2009
One of my all time favorite martini recipes is a smooth white cosmopolitan. The cosmopolitan became famous during the hit HBO television series ” Sex and the City” as cast members sipped on this sultry delight. It is one of the easiest cocktails to configure and sure to be an entertaining hit. The recipe I use is a white martini and it goes perfectly with the festive season on its way.
White Cosmopolitan
Serves 2
1 cup of white cranberry juice
4 ounces of vodka
2 ounces of cointreau
Directions: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add cranberry juice, vodka, and cointreau. Shake to combine well. Strain into two large martini glasses. Serve immediately.
This recipe can be adjusted to your convenience.
Holiday Wreaths
As the holidays are approaching, there are many beautiful holiday wreaths available. Wreaths are spectacular as they can be used during the festive season and if they are a neutral color that the owner is comfortable using, can be used year round. Many wreathes are available and can be found at a number of retail stores. I enjoy the ones located at Winners as they have a nice selection. Many other decor stores have selections and a variety to fit every taste and budget.When looking to purchase a wreath make sure it is one that is durable and can be used for a few years to come. Also, make sure that it can be easily stored as some holiday decor are very beautiful when displayed but, very hard to place for another season. Check winners.ca for holiday decor near you.
Holiday Gift Boxes
The holidays are just around the corner and as parties will soon be going into full swing. Many of us are trying not only to find the perfect holiday gift but, also the perfect package to place this special gift in. The packaging of gifts are just as important ans the content of the gift itself. These beautiful boxes cab be found at Winners and are very inexpensive. Prices range from high to low and are based on the boxes decor. They can be found in many beautiful and stunning festive colors of the season. My favorites include both the silver and the black and green. After the holiday season these boxes can be used to store other items such as keepsakes. these also make beautiful decor centerpieces. Happy Shopping! With gift boxes like these ones it is hard not to purchase.
