Blue Sea Martini

This delicious concoction gets its beautiful color from the addition of the blue curacao.  Although this may look like the beautiful blue ocean, it certainly doesn't taste like it (thankfully) and instead tastes like a tropical island vacation.

1 1/2 ounces Lemon Vodka

1 ounce Blue Curacao

1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice

1/4 cup light white cranberry juice

lime and lemon for garnish

Mix all of the ingredients in a chilled drink mixer filled halfway with ice. Shake vigorously.  

Strain into two chilled martini glasses and garnish with the lemon and lime or your favorite fruit.
