MARTINIS
Here's a cute MARTINI TIPS RECIPE CARD
To me, anything in a martini glass can be what I call a "designer" martini. You see, I just love martini glasses but I don't lean towards what is basically straight booze no matter how many olives you dump in it! So, here are some of the recipes I've tried and loved!

MOJITOS
Mojitos are the new rage with the fine young cannibals, but I've been drinking them for years on my travels. They're particularly well liked in tropical climates because they're refreshing and always have lime or lemon and mint in them. Aqui esta a usted! Here's my current favorites:

Diva Mojito
Strawberry Mojito
Very Cherry Mojito

MARGARITAS
I have to admit that I'm frankly too lazy to mix margaritas from scratch, especially when there's some great mixes out there. Just add your booze and favorite fruit and you're ready to party, muy bien! BUT, for you purists here's the classic margarita:

Classic Margarita

MORE
Despite what you may be thinking from my obsession with martinis, I do occasionally drink non-alcoholic beverages too. I practically live on smoothies in the summer (of course, a bit of rum or vodka might get tossed in after five to try out a new martini recipe!)

CHOCOLATE

ALL CHOCOLATE, ALL THE TIME, GET YOUR ENDORPHINS HERE!
I believe chocolate can cure anything. My blood type is C for chocolate. I eat chocolate in some form everyday. Chocolate is the food of the gods, just ask the Aztecs and Mayans. Life is not like a box of chocolates, life should be having a box of chocolates. Chocolate is the very best!
