Wednesday Weekend Warm Up (Will Style)

Yay! We're half way through the week and the weekend is right around the corner! My Blogger friend, Will from Bright Bazaar is serving up Peppermint Martinis here on imagine today. Normally, we think of peppermint as being a Christmas-time treat, but why not beat the heat with these minty martinis? 

For me weekends are all about going with the flow; some are crazily busy and some are quiet and chilled. Either way, come Friday evening I love to pop on my favourite tunes, light a scented candle and mix up some Peppermint Martinis. They are quick and easy to make, look great when entertaining and aren't too time consuming if you are just after a quick, but refreshing drink before heading out for dinner, or to meet friends. 

Impromptu entertaining is always the most fun and in fact, this weekend just gone, we ran into some friends whilst out shopping; we invited them back and made these very cocktails - they went down a treat! If preparing in advance I like to make five or six and line them up for guests to pick up as the arrive. I guess the old adage that things look better in multiples applies to cocktails, too... cheers!

Will, thanks for sharing this recipe with all of us today! I would've never thought of serving Peppermint Martinis in the middle of August, but the mint-i-ness would sure provide the coolness that is so needed in Southern California right now! I can't wait for the weekend!
