Not sure if there is a thread on this but I am on a mission to find a really good Holiday drink containing liquor. Hot or Cold it doesn't matter.So post away everyone! Thanks :D

Oprah made them on her show last week. I promptly made them and they are terrific.

The recipe on her website looked strange with 1 1/2 cups of juice to only 2 ounces of vodka. She talked about how they were strong but with that much juice, the alcohol would be inperceptible, I think. It's probably a typo. Here's how I made them.

Mix in shaker:
2 ounces pomegranate juice (hers called for 1.5 CUPS!)
2 ounces Absolut Citron
1 ounce Triple Sec (she called for Cointreau, I didn't have any)
cup of ice
squeeze of lemon or lime

Strain into Martini glasses. Made about 2 nice sized drinks. I floated a thin sliver of lemon rind on top.

Very festive looking and full of antioxidants!

As soon as I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of Oprah's Pomegranate Martinis - so I second Jen's nomination. You can see my write-up here (http://sweetnicks.blogspot.com/2005/11/oprah-rocks.html). I made them as she had the recipe posted, and really liked them that way. Hope this helps!
