Enjoy and drink well! Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and now Pinterest. | | Cocktail of the Week: Kiwi Martini
 Three ingredients, that is all you need to make one of my favorite fruit martinis. This Kiwi Martini requires vodka (flavored or not), a kiwi, and a little simple syrup. A little muddle, shake, and strain and in no time you have one of the freshest martinis you've had all summer. It's fun and may be that unexpected twist you can pull out at your next party.

| Keeping The Tinis Light
 I am not a calorie counter and have issues with the idea of 'healthy cocktails.' There are, however, some drinks that would be more diet friendly than others and if you are counting calories it's important to account for each of the ingredients in your mixed drinks. Not long ago, Ciroc Vodka shared this Coco Light Martini recipe and gave a breakdown of the calories involved, which is a helpful example of how dieters should look at their drinks. Diet or not, it is a great martini, much like a vodka Pina Colada (notice the coconut water substitution). Get the recipe... Photo Credit: Ciroc Vodka
| Infusions Add a Little Flair
 It's summer and it is the time for fresh herbs and other garden goodness. This means that you have the perfect excuse to experiment with some fun vodka infusions and use those to add something a little extra to your favorite drinks. This Mary Rose Martini calls for a rosemary infusion, which is great to have on hand and use in a variety of other vodka cocktails to add a little spark. Get the recipe....
