The essence of a Pomegranate Martini

A nice twist of lemon peel is also a must, as is a stick of cranberries on the martini spike.
Perfection. Best done as a couple, however, as the making of these fine concoctions is half the joy. The rest is up to you.

Dear Montauk Rider,
ReplyDeleteIf you love Pom martinis, and if you are anywhere in the Boston area, you should pay a visit to Evoo, @ 118 Beacon St., Somerville, and try their Pomegranate Drop, a version of a pom martini that is absolutely amazing! If you do, see if you can get the recipe from the bartender and post it on your blog. I would be eternally grateful. I asked when I was there, and was told it was made with Pomegranate molasses (which I purchased at a middle eastern grocers) and Absolut Citron, plus lime juice. But I haven't been able to replicate it very well. I was there two weeks ago, and have been jonesing for another Pomegranate Drop ever since.
As for food items at Evoo, don't miss the fried oysters (appetizer), which are lighter than air and served with a goat cheese mousse. I would happily go there several times a month just for those two items. Hope you try it.
