OK, I did it:

Very simple. I started with a Lemon Drop Martini recipe (from Martini Grill’s Peter Harman) which is simply equal parts of lemon juice, simple syrup, and vodka. I added mint, orange juice, a splash of Grand Marnier and Contreau. Shake with ice to make sure it’s very cold. Then I put small pieces of fresh fruit in each glass.

Dessert in a glass.

Oh yum! It almost sounds like a martini-version of sangria. And I LOVE sangria!

I saw this gorgeous picture and had to try one of my own for New Years’. I loved the fruity freshness! So I juiced two lemons and an orange, and cut up whatever fruit I had — some Bing cherries, tangerine wedges, and slices of kiwi. Fresh mint from the garden. The fruit went into chilled glasses, the rest into a shaker with ice, simple syrup, cointreau, vodka, and Grand Marnier. A huge shake and what a cold, refreshing drink — that you finish with a spoon!

I am going to have to do it again tonight and this time, take some photos!

d’oh! And I usually put ALT text in my photos as well!

Re: your comments on my Lemon Curd post – yes, the kaffir lime is easy to grow. We stuck the small tree in the ground one winter, and let it go. It’s sitting in clay soil getting morning sun, underneath a pine tree. I watered it every so often the first year, but after that I pretty much don’t do anything except harvest the leaves when needed.
