Entertaining during the holidays can be stressful, so let’s take some time to relax with these merry martinis. You know how much I love a dirty vodka martini, so during the holidays, I try to shake things up (pun intended) and try some new versions of my favorite cocktail. All three versions below are delicious, super easy to prepare, and look festive with holiday-inspired garnishes. So break out some colorful martini glasses, grab a cocktail shaker, and serve these up on some red & green napkins. Cheers! (Repost from December 2022)
