Dime Store Martini Recipe

Last Friday a group of us went to a Vodka tasting fundraiser called “Summer Sips” for the a local Cincinnati Park .  They had fifteen different vodka companies there to showcase their product. For the price of admission you were allowed to try seven different sips.  My friend Janet and I would share so we could taste more than seven, we are devious like that.  We had a great time and met a few new friends.  A few of the vodkas were pretty bad and the sips ended up in the trash, sadly.  However, one of the last we tried was by Three Olives called Tartz.  It was by far the best.  We all loved it and my friend Nicole said “this would make a great Dime Store Martini” and a drink was born.  We then proceeded to talk about all the candy we bought when we were little at the dime store, the awesome cocktails we have had which led into more interesting and silly stories that went on for several more hours.  You can guess this all happened after our seven or more “sips”, BURP!!
