Meh, it was OK, but I don't think I'll make it again. I used Pomegranate Blueberry juice; perhaps it's the blueberry that threw it off - the taste was strange - not bad, not great, not like something I've had before, not like something I want again.

Made this drink last night and whoooo was this strong. I think I will stick to Oprah's Pomegranate Martini. Thanks for letting me try.

We made a few improvements so I have to give the as is recipe 4 stars. 5 when made 1 part each plain vodka, citrus vodka, orange liquer (contriou) and 2 parts pomegranate juice. Most yummy. Our first attempt we used grandmarnier and had to toss the drink.

You can't taste the pomegranate juice in this martini. I reduced the orange liqueur, by half and still got very little pomegranate flavor. I also tried it with Vanilla vodka and then really lost the flavor. Oprah/Rachel Ray's is better.

Just had "Oprah's Pomegranate Martini" from Recipezaar.com a few nights ago at a party and thought it would be fun and festive to make a few at home (with Thanksgiving tomorrow, fun and festive is in order!). Anyway, as I did not have any citrus vodka and would not be caught dead at the grocery store the night before Thanksgiving, I was looking for a recipe that use Pomegranate juice and regular vodka and everyone raved about this one, right? Sorry, but I was VERY UNIMPESSED! I followed the recipe exactly and as we had company over I didn't get a chance to fiddle with the portions of juice to Orange Liqueur to tell what would work- my guess, less Orange Liqueur, more juice (and not to water it down- I just couldn't taste the Pomegranate juice). All I can say is my DH took one sip, made an aweful taste and said "NO, THANK YOU! UCK!" Needless to say we switched to wine (one person did really like it thought- one out of 6). Sorry, but I will not be making this recipe again! Pomegranate Martinis- yes, but not with this recipe. If you like martinis- you will probably not like this recipe!

I wonder if the vodka destoys the health benefits of the juice? Do I care? NOPE; not in the least! Good, good stuff. By the way, I left out the orange liqueur just because I felt it would be too sweet. More pleeaasssee!!?? Thank you!!!!

I bought a bottle of pomegranate juice because I have read about all the health benefits of it & I hated it...it's as bitter as cranberry juice! So not wanting to waste an expensive bottle of juice, I set out to find a recipe to use it in. We have a winner w/ this one!!! It was a little sweet compared to a cosmo but it was very good. What an enjoyeable way to reap the benefits of the anti-oxidant properties of the pomegranate juice.

Great drink. I am only giving this a 4 star due to the fact that I recommend making this with lemon infused vodka, rather than regular vodka. Make sure you use high quality vodka such as Belvedere or Grey Goose--it's worth it!

Pomegranite Martinis are the best! Being a big martini drinker, I've perfected this down to 3 oz. Absolut Citron, 2 oz. Pomegranite juice and 1 oz. of Cointreau. Great drink! ps- add a few pomegranite seeds and a curl from a lemon peel for a nice presentation!

What a great drink!!! I only put about 1 oz. of Cointreau in mine since others said that it turned out too sweet. I thought it was fantastic - and the health benefits of pomegranite juice are so unbelieveable that this has become my favorite - ahead of the ever-popular cosmo. Cheers!
