If you aren’t able to travel this summer, the French Martini might be a winning substitute for any foreign culture cravings (or, at least it will satisfy your taste buds).  This particular recipe was served as a part of last week’s Denver May Market at the Grange Showroom where Alexandra spoke about the importance of company blogs while the audience enjoyed delicious French fare and martinis. Wish you had been there? Luckily, you can create your own French martini and enjoy it wherever you might be on the globe.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Vodka
• ½ oz Chambord
• 2 ½ oz Pineapple Juice

Preparation:

1. Back a shaker full of ice and add all ingredients
2. Shake or stir (Note: the pineapple juice makes the drink cloudy anyway, so the shaking gives a nice light texture because of pineapple juice’s tendency to froth!)
3. Strain into a martini glass.
4. Garnish with a lemon twist.
5. Enjoy!

I will be presenting at the upcoming Rocky Mountain Designers’ Market at the Denver Design District!  If you plan on attending the Market, or are an interior designer in the Denver area, please come see me for this free event on Wednesday, May 12th at 4 pm at the Grange showroom.

My presentation will cover how a blog can be a great way to better build your brand, to attract your ideal client, and to ultimately help your bottom line.

Special thanks to Grange and the Grange showroom in Denver for inviting me to speak.

Of course, martinis will be served.
