Today I am officially one year older! Yes, yes I turned 29 today. Ok, so I have been 29 for awhile now but a girl never reveals her true age! My best friend has been 27 for years, so I can be 29! It's my birthday afterall!My husband is on a business trip and my children are tucked snugly in their beds, I think it's time for a good movie and a sophisticated drink. Not just any drink will do, it needs to be smooth, slightly sweet, and worthy of a movie like Julie and Julia!
The french martini will fit the occasion perfectly! A french martini is a combination of Vodka, Pineapple juice and Chambord. Not too sweet, smooth and perfect for sipping. Sophisticated enough for a night out with the girls but also festive enough for your next holiday get together.
