Recently was served this delicious drink at a Christmas cookie exchange, it was - to quote the hostess -YUMMY !! She used Grand Marnier which was perfect. I will definitely make this recipe during the holidays.

    These are awesome...just the right blend of sweet and tart w/out being too much of either. On her show, Oprah suggested squeezing fresh lime juice in bottom of chilled glass before pouring the drink in.

    I made these last Christmas after watching the Rachel Ray Christmas party show on Oprah. I am making them again this year. They are fantastic. A great party drink. Especially for Christmas. I use Grey Goose-Orange and Grand Marnier. I also double the amount of Vodka to 4 oz because otherwise it is a little too sweet/strong the other way. (Oprah admitted to adding a little more vodka at times too). Excellent drink with a great festive color.

    These are fantastic. We've served them at a few dinner parties and they're always a hit. Great cocktail for the holidays as well: too pretty!

    For the sparkling water I used Pomegranate seltzer. WOW!

    Good drink! We used Triple Sec a.k.a. "Poor Man's Cointreau". They are both orange flavored, and although Cointreau is MUCH better, in this drink you can't tell the difference much since the Pomegranate is the dominant flavor. The alcohol seemed a little weak for a martini, so we threw in some more vodka and also squeezed fresh lime into the glasses. Nice drink for the holidays!

    Delicious!!! I made a big batch for a recent party and they were gone way too soon. I quadrupled the recipe and used triple sec in lieu of cointreau. I also added extra vodka and squeezed two lemons in the pitcher. If you want to impress, place pomegranate seeds in an ice cube tray and fill with water. You're guests will appreciate a cube to keep their drink chilled.
