Magnificent Mother's Day Martinis

From About.com

For everything she has done and will continue to do for her family, for all the sacrifices, hugs and kisses throughout the years, Mom deserves a special day, a day where it's all about her and thanking her for her devotion. The cards, gifts, meals and thank yous are great, but wouldn't Mom like a good drink? If you can answer that question with a "yes" then here are a few cocktails that she is sure to enjoy. The elegance of any of these martinis is sure to tell your mother that you appreciate everything she's done for you and simply say "Happy Mother's Day."

Blushing Lady

The Blushing Lady is a perfectly designed fruity cocktail that is the right blend of tropical flavors and looks stunning when served in it sugar-rimmed glass.

Coriandrum

The Coriandrum uses a simple coriander-flavored nectar by infusing agave nectar with coriander seeds, showing off the flavors of freshness and symbolizing the rebirth of spring.

Tea Tini

It's tea time and Mom is sure to love this light Martini. This Martini also begs for a splash of flavor and adding a small amount of berry, lavender, rosemary or chamomile to the steeping tea is subtle yet soothing.

In & Out Lemontini

Springtime freshness for dessert. The In & Out Lemontini transforms the dry In & Out Martini into a sweet dessert cocktail. It does this by replacing vermouth with lemoncello, which is best kept chilled in the freezer.

White Lady

A more gentile, mother like variation of the Sidecar, the White Lady can make a simple, stunning appearance on Mother's Day. With only three common ingredients, this is a great last minute cocktail creation.

Melon Cucumber-tini

Surprisingly, melons and cucumbers combine well for a unique flavor and aroma. This cocktail of fresh, summery scents is a perfect way to pamper your mother.

Pink Lady

Slightly more complicated, yet in no way inferior, the Pink Lady is a gem of a cocktail. It has a classy feel, because the egg white creates a "foam" that floats on top, almost like a well adorned hat.

Pom-X Martini

The Pom-X Martini is simply extra fruity, pink Martini that blends pomegranate vodka and X-Rated Fusion Liqueur. It is a hit among women and sure to be the sweetness Mom deserves this Mother's Day.

Rosy Rum Cosmo

Go beyond the popular Cosmopolitan and impress Mom with the Rosy Rum Cosmo. It's as easy a conversion as using rum and a mint leaf to obtain a special drink just for her.
