FOUR FAVORITES: FOUR COCKTAILS TO TRY TONIGHT

Ready to get out of the office and start the weekend? I don't know about you but I'm sooo past ready for this weekend. Here's a few of my favorite springtime cocktail recipes that are tried and true. Stop on the way home and pick up the ingredients, along with a nice steak or maybe a piece of fish and get the weekend started right. Cheers to Friday!

HERE ARE FOUR OF MY FAVORITE COCKTAIL RECIPES TO TRY THIS WEEKEND!

1. MINT JULEP 2. POMEGRANATE MOJITO 3. SANGRIA 4. MOSCOW MULE

1. MARTIE'S MINT JULEP

Use mint infused simple syrup and this drink just feels like Spring. A Kentucky Derby favorite, it is a signature Southern cocktail known around the world. Get the recipe here....

2. REFRESHING POMEGRANATE MOJITO

Another cocktail made with mint; this one is always a crowd favorite and is easy to mix in large batches when you have people over. Get the recipe here...

3. STRAWBERRY PEAR SANGRIA

Strawberries are coming into season and you can usually find quality pears year 'round. This is one of those go-to recipes you will find yourself serving again and again. And because you can change out the fruit for whatever is in season, you can keep it on the menu all summer long. Get the recipe here...

4. MOSCOW MULE

Long a favorite of mine, Oprah declared it her favorite cocktail a while back and now everyone is discovering it. If you can get the copper mugs, it just seems to taste better but if you don't have those, a mint julep or pewter mug will do the trick. The secret is Ginger. So zingy and so refreshing!

Martie's Weekend Cocktail Recipe: Mix up Some Pomegranate Mojitos!

Ohhh, the weekend is hours away and a frosty cold one is in order! I've got a ton of mint popping up in my garden and need to use some of it so I thought a mojito of some sort would be a fresh and delicious way to kick off the weekend. You can make a mojito from  almost anything but the basics are always rum, mint, and club soda. Add the pomegranate juice and you've also got some good for you antioxidants in there, too:) Cheers to the weekend! Have a great one!

POMEGRANATE MOJITO

For 2

1/2 cup pomegranate juice

12 mint leaves

3 teaspoons sugar

2 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

3 ounces light rum (you can substitute vodka if you like)

Ice

Club soda

Lime wedge for garnish

Chill two glasses. Put the mint in the bottom of a cocktail shaker with the sugar. Use a wooden spoon to muddle (bruise) the mint and release the oils into the sugar. Add rum, pomegranate juice, lime juice. Fill with ice. Shake until well chilled. Put mint leaves in the bottom of the glass. Add ice. Strain the cocktail over the ice. Top with club soda for a little sparkle. Garnish with lime.
