Three Olives Pomegranate Vodka


Two of my favorite new beverages featuring the fabulous new Pomegranate Vodka from Three Olives. The first is a lovely aperitif, the second a nice sipper on a hot day. Not that we get many of those here this time of year, but I like to pour one of these, crank up the heat, put in an episode of CSI: Miami and pretend I'm in a warmer clime.
