If you follow me on Twitter, you might have noticed that I check in at Bonefish Grill on a pretty regular basis. What can I say? I really enjoy going out to dinner for seafood, as I don’t regularly make any at home (that will change once we live in a place where we can have a grill…).
However, I don’t want to talk about the seafood today. I want to talk about one of my favorite cocktails…which happens to be served at Bonefish Grill. You can pretty much guarantee that my mom and I will partake in one or two Bonefish Martinis when we dine there, because they are just so darn good. I wanted to be able to bring that drink home with me, so I investigated the recipe.
Surprise! Bonefish is forthcoming with their Bonefish Martini recipe! Hooray! And guess what…they are very simple to make…
Seriously…how gorgeous is the color of that cocktail? It definitely is reminiscent of a Cosmopolitan, with the added effervescence of the champagne in lieu of triple sec. It’s a refreshing cocktail for summer; just be careful how many of them you consume!
Anyway, I was slightly skeptical before making this cocktail at home. For some reason, when I try to recreate cocktails (or other dishes, etc.) at home, they taste good, but not exactly the same…there is always something a little off. My mom always says that things taste better when someone else makes them, so perhaps that is true in some cases. However, I have to say that this cocktail recreation was true to the original. It was certainly well received, at least…
