Does anyone know the recipie for a ginger martini? I had one once, but I can't seem to find them anywhere else!

Other than that, my favorite summertime drink is Rum and Coke with a little lime!

Here's a recipe I found on www.digsmagazine.com after a quick google. It was written by Joanna Piatek in an article called "Farmer Jo, Spice Girl?"

Ginger Martini
First things first, you'll need to infuse the vodka. Get a pint of the vodka of your choice, not too pricey though, since you won't be drinking it as is anyway. I usually pick off the bottom shelf.

To infuse:
750 ml bottle of vodka
½ cup sliced candied ginger

Pour out about a shot of the vodka. Drink it, throw it out, or save it for later — whatever. Add the sliced ginger. You might have to pull out the plastic covering over the mouth of the bottle. I have no idea what it is for, but it comes in handy later, so put it back when you have added all the ginger. Give the bottle a good shake and put it in the freezer for at least two days, shaking occasionally. I leave the ginger in the bottle until it is empty. After which you can nibble on the vodka-infused ginger.

For the remaining drink you'll need:
Chilled canned pineapple juice
Whole lemon
Ice

In a jar or fancy martini-mixing contraption add one shot of vodka (isn't that plastic thing helpful now — all the ginger stays in the bottle!), one to two shots of pineapple juice, and a handful of ice. Shake. Pour into martini glasses or small tumblers. Garnish by adding a squeeze of lemon and/ or throwing in a small slice. Voila!

this might add some inetrest to this recipe.
Once chilled pour some of the martini into icecube trays and freeze in the deep freeze.
add them to the chilled martini drink as u would ordinary ice cubes.
you could also put cocktail sticks into them to freeze them as iced martini cubes to suck on sticks.
