Since the market is doing so well, I thought I would pass along a favorite to ease your pain.  This is my personal recipe that has been modified to stop leaks and cure arthritis. 

Pomegranate Martini – this thing works miracles.

3 oz decent vodka

3 oz pomegranate juice

Juice from ½ orange or tangerine - not the bottled stuff

Juice from ½ lime

1 teaspoon of sugar

Frozen martini glass is a must.

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with lots of ice.  The trick is to shake it 3 times longer than you think you should.  You get an upper body workout and a great drink.  Less juice and more ice and open space in the shaker works best.  The longer you shake, the more ice crystals will be in the drink (ladies love the ice crystals).  Serve one at a time in a frozen martini glass.  You will be the hit of the party for sure.  They go down very smooth but make sure you have a dd to get people home.
