Oprah the Bartender?
Oprah Winfrey is known for many things … her philanthrophy, her constant struggle with her weight, her long-standing relationship with Stedman, even her “Favorite Things” episode every December, but bartending?
Over the past year or so, Oprah has introduced a few of her favorite drinks. I happened to catch the episode when she made her Pomegranate Martinis and knew I was hooked, even before tasting it. And after a taste test? I was in love.
Smooth, slightly fruity and just downright delicious, with the addition of one-and-a-half cups of pomegranate juice, you can almost call this a healthy cocktail! After all, pomegranates are a very powerful antioxidant, filled with all sorts of vitamins and cancer-fighting powers. Bottoms up.
