Martini Groove

Martini divas and divos ...contain yourselves!

Not sure what can beat the connection of the swanky sugar rim to the parched lips of guests sipping the most progressive in fresh martini selections.

With names that all play into the overall theme of The Belmont's Rat Pack motif, these drinky drinks are sure to offer more than some temporary liquid courage. The Mocha (chocolate liquor/Bailey's), The Castro (Sapphire mojito), Monroe Martini (FRESH watermelon/vodka), Goodfella (peach schnapps, vodka, chamboard) are the tini's pictured above. As you can see..choosing one of these signatures will serve not only as a perfect cocktail, but also a snappy accessory to any ensemble. I've tasted all of them (I know....tough job) and my personal fav is the Monroe. Now... I've had a watermelon martini before, but this delightful, blinged-out drink tastes as if the watermelon angels came down from heaven and mixed it just for me. Not too sugary, but just the right amount of flavor mixed with my beloved Tito's Vodka makes my smile extend to botox refillable proportions.
All the cocktails range between $9- $10, which means Happy Hour prices will range from $4.5 - $5.

In addition to the buzzworthy effects offered in the Monroe Martini, I've also recently learned of some of the not so common benefits of the watermelon. Watermelon may be a natural Viagra says a researcher. That's because the popular summer fruit is richer than experts believed in an amino acid called citrulline, which relaxes and dilates blood vessels much like Viagra and other drugs meant to treat erectile disfunction. Huh, and you thought it looked like a girly drink!
