I love the elegance and simplicity of champagne on its own, but there’s something incredibly fun and special about changing things up and creating a drink with a little EXTRA. This cocktail is a jazzed up version of one of my favorite goto drinks. It’s a simple concoction, just Deep Eddy’s lemon vodka and ginger beer with a little cherry simple syrup and a luxardo cherry. In this martini version, the ginger beer is replaced with champagne.

Combine the lemon vodka, cointreau and cherry simple syrup in a shaker and shake to combine. Strain the mixture into 2 chilled martini glasses ⅔ full and top with champagne. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry. Makes any special occasion all the more special.
Enjoy!

Kat
Sex was never discussed in Kat’s house. “You’re not having sex!?! Are you?” was the extent of the conversation. It wasn’t her mother’s fault. She was a single mom with 3 children and teaching her 13 year old daughter about sex was not high on her priority list. Everything Kat learned about sex she learned from the older girl next door. Not a great start. Kat worked hard and got lucky. She waitressed her way through school pursuing a career in healthcare where she met and married her husband of over 20 years. Together they started to explore all that a happy marriage and a great sex life could be. They found books, articles, websites and podcasts with incredibly sexy stories. And despite the difficulties of adulting and raising 2 children, they managed to keep their relationship a priority. Kat’s sexual curiosity and excitement for new things led to open lively conversations about love, commitment, sexual desires and friendships. And when she met Ams, she knew she had a girlfriend she could share her discoveries and desires with and vice versa. They soon decided to share their conversations and insights with anyone who would listen and created the 2Hotwives podcast.
