a red hat "scarlett flozzie" vodka martini
I have been trying to come up with a special cocktail for my group of Red Hat Ladies. First I tried making rhubarb juice (with rhubarb frozen from my garden) along with cranberry juice and vodka. Then I ran across a recipe in our newspaper and after I kicked it around and played with it. This beautiful scarlet red martini evolved! Our Red Hat group name is the Scarlett Flozzies! So knowing that a starving Scarlett O'Hare resorted to grubbing up radishes from her garden in the famous "I'll never be hungry again" scene in "Gone With The Wind" a Red Hat Scarlett Flozzie Martini was born.

We love a festive holiday cocktail. This flavored martini is not overly sweet. Cranberry juice and lemon balance the sweetness of the cherry juice. This makes a beautiful and tasty cocktail for any occasion.
