Martinis

[xkrazybaby67x]

I LOVE martinis. Anyone have terrific recipes? A cool thing that we do is we have a martini party. What that means is that everyone brings their own martini glass that they are to leave at the house that the party is at, thus making someones martini glass collection. This is a great housewarming party idea that we have done for 3 of my friends who recently got their own places

My martini of choice is:
2 oz. citrus vodka of your choice
1 oz. ruby red grapefruit juice
1 oz. pineapple juice
a splash of tripple sec

yum yum let me know if any of you have any to die for recipes
