- 1 oz. Cointreau
For garnish (optional):
- Lemon twist

Notes
You’ll want a good quality vodka for this, as with any martini, because the flavor comes out. Pro tip: It shouldn’t smell like rubbing alcohol.
Cointreau is my favorite for this martini, but you could substitute triple sec or another orange-flavored liqueur if you prefer.
I use bottled pomegranate juice (such as the Pom brand). If you are using fresh juice from a pomegranate, you may need a little simple syrup to sweetened up this martini.
The measurements in the recipe card below make a really well-balanced martini. However, everyone has different tastes, so if you’d like to adjust this (add more vodka or Cointreau for instance), feel free!
