Hi. Jaimie here. I was in the mood for one of my father's very dry cosmopolitans, but he can't remember the recipe. So, I Googled "vodka martini recipe". The first recipe I found called for 1.5 oz vodka and .75 oz of dry vermouth. Okay, I can work with that. I added a squirt of lime juice and just enough cranberry/apple juice to turn it pink. Then I shook it with ice and strained it. It was delicious, so I decided to make another (for my mother, of course). It was then that I realized that I had used light rum instead of vodka. Still yummy! Here's the complete recipe:
1.5 oz light rum
.75 oz dry vermouth
squeeze or squirt of lime juice
just enough cranberry or cranberry/apple juice to make the drink turn pink
Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass if you have one. (I don't, so I just left the ice in mine and drank it out of a highball glass.)
Enjoy!
