Goodbye to Summer? I don't think so...

Many of us are having a really hard time saying goodbye to summer, so much so that I'm actually heading down the shore this weekend with the fam for a little R&R. The sad part is that this will be the first time I've been to the beach in two seasons (Caribbean and European vacations not included)! Better late than never I guess. And to help keep that summer feel going just a little bit longer, the folks at Ketel One have sent some tasty cocktails my way. I promise, the pumpkin and spiced-apple sips will be coming soon, but for now....

The Ultimate Ketel One Endless Summer Punch
1 oz.Ketel One vodka
½ oz. Midori
½ oz. Amaretto
½ oz. Orange juice
½ oz. Cranberry juice

Shake with ice in a cocktail shaker. Serve straight up in a martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

The Ultimate Kiwi Martini
2 oz. Ketel One vodka

1 fresh and ripe Kiwi

Cut the kiwi in half and scoop out the fruit and transfer to a shaker. Muddle the fruit and add remaining ingredients. Shake with ice in a cocktail shaker and serve straight up in a martini glass. Garnish with kiwi.
