My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Bombay Sapphire Gin Martini - Mumbai Breeze

The Bombay Sapphire team sampled terrific gin martinis at Vancouver Magazine's Restaurant Awards this past Monday. If you've been stuck in a vodka rut for the past few years, it's time to make a move. This drink was designed by Robyn Gray, winner of the 2007 Bombay Sapphire Cocktails by Design Competition. It's sweet from the lychee, but the gin gives it depth and a little bitterness that you don't get with vodka.

Mumbai Breeze
- Bombay Sapphire gin
- Lychee juice (Ceres brand is best, or sub with Rubicon lychee cocktail)
- Muddled pomegranate (substitute with Pom brand juice)
- Lemon Peel
Shake ingredients with ice
Garnish with lychee fruit
