The Flavored Martini Craze

The Martini is one of the most widely known cocktails. We have come a long way since the days of the classic Gin Martini. Many people aren't even aware that you can get a martini in almost any flavor you can imagine.

There seems to be a Martini for every occasion. I have found some great recipes that are appropriate for your Christmas, Halloween or Summer parties.

Many of the martini's available today are more like a dessert drink. I have some favorite martini recipes that I would like to share with you. I'm sure there are many more variations of these recipes, but these are my personal favorites.
