Welcome back friends. I hope you had a marvelous Christmas. This will be the last post for 2014 and I thought, why not close this chapter with a toast to all of my followers. You are so special to me and you keep me energized to share my passion with you.
#French martini
If I haven’t told you by now, I am obsessed with everything French and honestly, I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s the romantic language, the delectable food, the fashion or all of the above. When I decided to make a cocktail recipe as the final post for 2014, the French martini was at the top of my list. There is really nothing French about it other than the name and the raspberry liqueur, but that seals the deal for me. I made a pit stop by the liqueur store before heading home.
