Organic Cherry Martini

Submitted by f00djunkie

"This recipe was "invented" by accident. I was ready to mix my usual Pomegranate Martini when I realized I was out of pomegranate juice. After the trip to the pantry and a couple of modifications this new favorite drink of mine was born. The key ingredient is R.W. Knudsen Organic Just Tart Cherry juice which provides just the right amount of tartness for this drink. If you attempt to use any other brand of cherry juice or syrup...fuggedaboutit!"
