CRANBERRY-JALAPENO MARTINI

Cranberry-Jalapeno Martini image

I describe this cocktail as slightly tart, a little sassy and completely delicious. I make a big batch when I'm hosting a party because it tends to disappear quickly. Garnish with fresh mint and cranberries for an extra-special touch. -Kelli Haetinger, Virginia Beach, Virginia
