Narrowing it down to just one cocktail is difficult.

I used to be a Cosmo or Apple Martini girl, but lately, I have been enjoying Ketel One Citroen or Grey Goose Orange with seltzer and a splash of cranberry juice. Very light, very refreshing, very delicious. They go down way too easily, too.

People, give recipes please. What is a French martini, for example.

My personal new invention: into a shaker - one part a tropical juice blend, one part Cointreau, 3 parts vodka, lots of ice. Pour and serve in chilled martini glass. Maybe a cube or two of ice to the glass. Cheers!

French Martini... there are varying recipes out there, this is one of them - make it once like this and then "tweak" it to your liking..

I have "tweaked" it so much that there is no relationship between this and my concoction, but this is where I started!!!!!

1/2 oz vodka
1/4 oz ChambordŽ raspberry liqueur
1/4 oz fresh pineapple juice

Pour all of these into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, jiggle away, and then pour it all into a martini glass, sip and sip some more...

When glass empty, repeat...

Take Minute Maid frozen lemonade and make it with 1/2 vodka and 1/2 water and put back in freezer. Turns into vodka lemonade slush - delicious.
