In need of a good Martini idea for Thanksgiving day

[JBRES1]

I just checked my vodka supply, and I am out of Grey Goose.
My MIL loves to have one of my Blue chese stuffed/anchovi wraped olive Gray Goose martinis, so now what do I do ?
I have just about anything in stock, so I'm looking for a good martini mix ie Cosmo, red raspberry ....... you get the idea.
Help, Jim Breslin

The Gravytini, take your favourite shaker, add equal parts gravy and vodka (or gin, depending on your taste) shake well over ice, and pour into a chilled martini glass. Add one or two cranberries and a small slice of turkey for garnish.

Mmmm heaven

mmm....gravy....


CUCUMBER MARTINI
1 1/4 oz. 3 vodka
3/4 oz. fresh squeezed cucumber juice
1/4 oz. Midori
Splash of simple syrup
Garnish with cucumber slice.

Alternately, you can slice up a cucumber and soak them in vodka without having to squeeze them for juice. The cukes are pretty potent if you eat them, and delicious.

Yeah, nothing quite like mixing gravy and vodka! :no

I wonder if my favorite bartender wouldn't piss himself if I asked for a vodka/gravy shooter.

Its an old family recipe that goes back generations the whole gravy & vodka thing - if anyone steals the recipe i expect the credit haha

- Im afraid I cant help with martinis - but a festive shooter i made a couple years ago isnt too bad:

The Green Goblin (named because of its venom)

1/2 Shot Peppermint Liquer
1/2 Shot Cheap Whisky (cheaper the better)

- Combine in shot glass
- Drink
- Repeat

Guaranteed mayhem!
