Martini Madness

I have to give it to Hungry Girl again, I found these three low calorie martini recipes and loved them all! I promised to give you more cocktails to vary up my blog. It is getting really hot outside and I figured to help everyone make this summer more tolerable I would try to cool off with some nice cold martini's. Let me know what you all think!

Orange Creamsicle Martini

This low-calorie cocktail tastes EXACTLY like those sherbet 'n ice cream bars you used to eat as a kid... Mmmmmmmm!

Ingredients:
4 oz. diet orange soda, room temperature
1.5 oz. orange-flavored vodka (like Smirnoff Twist of Orange)

1.5 oz. Torani Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup
1 tbsp. Cool Whip Free

Directions: Place all ingredients in a martini shaker, but DO NOT shake (or the carbonated soda will explode!). Mix thoroughly with a spoon until mixture is mostly lump-free. Add about 1 cup ice (crushed, if you've got it), and stir until mixture is cold. Then place the strainer on top and pour into a large martini glass. Enjoy!
