Cranberry Martinis

This is perfect for the holidays! I served these at a pampered chef party I hosted tonight and they looked so festive! As far as modification, I just used the cranberries and not the lemon as garnish. I also only used about 1/8 of a cup of vermouth insted of the full 1/4 cup, but if you're a big vermouth fan than go for it! I found this on the CBS news website.
