What's the Best Martini Recipe for My Marvelous Martini Show?

[sarahsellcm]

I am putting together what I am calling a Marvelous Martini show and since I have never drank a martini was wondering what a good recipe would be for this. I have a bunch of hostess that said they would like this and I am scheduling this for April and am really filling up (maybe a little too much) I usually do 4-6 shows and I am close to having 8-14 shows but tht will help me make up for my Feb. being in the toilet.

WOW!! Good for you & your goals!!! As far as Martinis, in the new Seasons Best there is a Fresh Mango(I think) Martini & last F/W there is 1 for a chocolate/raspberry one....HTH

There was a lemon gingertini too...

PC has a pink martini and a chocolate raspberry martini. I think if you do a search using martini or tini as the keyword on CC. You may also like this site: Apple martini recipes - free fruit flavored martini recipes

So funny, I'm doing a Martini Madness show next Saturday. I'm doing pink martinis for the gals and blue martinis for the boys.

Do the Chocolate Martini recipe we had in the last SB. Substitute White morsels for the semi sweet. Pink and like a dessert with a kick!

Question for all of you doing martini's - how are you going to transport your martini glasses? I've wanted to take them to parties, but I'm so afraid they will break!! I have the regular polka dot ones and the HWC ones ...

 

[Mr. Pampered Chef]

I usually throw the Martini party at my place, makes it a very controlled enviroment, but with that said, I have rolled each one in a cloth and stack them end to end in a tupperware container...I am sure there are other ways to.

 

[ChefCKHall]

I have kept the HWC glasses in the box they shipped in. I use one of those rolling crates to cart them around and the HWC other items (called the HWC box). It allows me to put the TTA bag on it when taking into homes. After May, I will not have to take the cart with me anymore....

Anyone have the pink martini recipe? I had it until the day I need it and then it is missing. Go figure.
