Helena's drink


What's that drink she kept having with the pomegranates?

Anyone know? :)

I know this is my own post and all but, best I've been able to find is:

Pomegranate Martini
1 oz. Torani Pomegranate syrup
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. lemon juice

That's so funny... I just watched this movie for the first time last night and was wondering the same thing. Thanks for answering it before I even had to ask! :)

Glad to help out :D

Yeah, thanx. I might adopt it as my signature cocktail in order to make this film a talking point.

I don't get why anything and everything made with Vodka or Gin and poured into a Martini Glass is called a Martini. Vodka plus sweet syrup of any kind and a bunch of fruit juice poured into a glass is NOT a Martini. I's a mixed drink!

Doesn't a martini at least have to include the whole step with the Vermouth on the ice and then pouring it off or at least waving a bottle of vermouth over the shaker for tradition's sake? ;-)

I love you. You're absolutely right, the drink is not a martini. People think the word martini is fancy so they use it judiciously without knowing proper context
