I'm not exactly sure what makes this drink a martini, and I'm also not sure if this has anything to do with Prince and his fancy outfits and his motorcycle, but it sounds rather intriguing.
It's the Purple Rain Martini, and it's made with pomegranate-infused sake, which I bet is something a lot of you have never had (I certainly haven't). Full recipe after the jump.
I enjoyed my review tasting of Chambord so much that I wanted to share a few cocktail recipes using this black raspberry liqueur. For even more you can go to this link.
Chambord Liqueur is a raspberry based liqueur with 16.5%abv / 33 proof. It is made from an over 320 year old recipe dating back to 1685 when Louis XIV visited Château de Chambord in the Chambord region of France and supposedly was one of his favorites, among that of other nobility who had the good taste to enjoy it as well.

But if you want to get all fancy, here's what you do:
Forget fancy, overpriced organic cleaners. You can do plenty with just a squeeze of citrus.
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into
