Olive Garden Featured Martinis

Malibu's great mango-flavored rum is the star in the Mango Martini, along with a little Kern's mango nectar. It goes down fast. Then there's the stronger Pomegranate Margarita Martini. If you like tequila, this is your drink. It's mixed with Patron Silver tequila and Patron's 80-proof Citronge orange liqueur.

For my Olive Garden martini recipes, you'll also need some real grenadine syrup, the kind made with real pomegranate juice. Stirrings makes a good one. You can also use pure pomegranate juice—like Pom Wonderful—but you'll also have to add some simple syrup since pomegranate juice is tart. Each of these drinks is served straight up in a large martini glass, but you can also add ice to the drinks. And a bendy straw.

That was the best drink I had down there ever!

The Limoncello Lemonade is absolutely wonderful! I had never had the one at Olive Garden, so I don't know if it is comparable, but, in my book, nothing could have been better than what this recipe made. It is a dangerous drink, though. You can't taste the alcohol in it at all!
