The card holiday – not your syphilis. I mean, you can certainly celebrate (or lament) your syphilis with a martini if you’d like, but this recipe is for the “card/chocolate/fancy underwear” holiday coming up.

And, since it’s all about hearts and love, make a nice heart shaped pizza, eat some chocolate covered strawberries and try not to pass out before your significant other this time.

Pink Martini

2 shots gin

juice from 1/4 of a lime

1/4 oz triple sec

1/4 oz cranberry juice

Shake with crushed ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with cherries.

And if you do have the syphilis, you can use the ice from the martini shaker to numb your naughty bits.

Fridays are what we refer to as “snack night” at our house. Martinis are made for the adults and juice is served to the younger crowd. There is usually a moderate spread of various finger foods – cheese, crackers, things stuffed with other things and stuff you should really only eat in moderation. We’re like a PG version of the Rat Pack.

It’s our time to unwind as a family and really enjoy each other. What child under 5 doesn’t need a Friday night to relax after a hard week of. . . playing? With this in mind and to help you enjoy the end of your rough week, I present you with the weekly martini recipe:

The Classic Martini

2 shots gin

1/2 shot dry vermouth

3 olives

Fill martini shaker 3/4 full with ice.

Add gin & vermouth, shake vigorously and let rest.

Strain & pour martini into chilled glass, add 3 olives on a toothpick & enjoy!
