I am one of those daughters of the 60th who refuse to give up my traditional Martini before Dinner. I have tried to enliven it by using several new recipes of the cocktail. Here is a very good one:

Voka & Sherry Martini

4 ounces of Absolut vodka
1 ounce of Jerez cream sherry
1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon of green olive brine
2 thin lemon slices

Pour all of your liquid ingredients into a shaker 1/2 full of cracked ice.

Give a good 20 vigorous shakes and let the shaker rest for half a minute.

Strain your delicious martini into 2 freezing glasses

Garnish each glass with a lemon slice.

DELICIOUS!!
