The Ginger Flame Martini

By: Marjie Martini

As always insight comes to me in the latest hour of the evening. In this case the great insight was brought on by a really good case of the giggles. The giggles were brought on by a really good martini, the Ginger Flame. Now please remember, that I am advocate of the consumption of alcohol in moderation. However, every once in awhile it feels really good to go out and let it rip. This is a martini that should be reserved for the occasion.

The Ginger Flame martini is a crazy blend of Kurant Vodka and Cointreau. This is a unique combination because you have the sour of the current and the sweetness of the orange flavor. The taste sensations continue with the addition of cranberry and ginger. However, the best part of this martini is the presentation. You know that you are in for a good time when your martini is introduced with fire! The other key factor is that you can consume this martini all day .and all night

Every once in awhile you are invited to an event that you just don’t want to miss. But, it seems that everything else takes priority. In a world of constant deadlines where we complain about never having enough time to finish our projects and life is constant juggle, what is it that really motivates us to rearrange are schedule in order to participate in a social event? What is it that makes us decide to take time off just for something fun! Sometimes, it is that you really want to connect with your friends that you have not seen in awhile. But, the true motivating factor is

“FOMO: fear of missing out!”

This is when you have missed out one too many fun times and you can not bear to hear of another great party that you missed. Well, I had just arrived home from an event that gave myself and all my friends serious FOMO. We had all rearranged our lives to attend our annual challenge; a relay race followed by an all day long patio party. This was an event that we all had to attend every year, because this party just kept getting better and better. The 25 teams were serious about fun; crazy costumes, cocktails and outrageous antics where everywhere. This was a day where 250 people just took a day off from life and it was all about letting loose. The fear of missing this party was the true motivation for us to take time off work, rearranging flights, and making sure the kids went to the grandparents. It did not matter what we had to do the next day or what time we had to get up in the morning because it was all worth it.

As I sat on my couch thinking about the events of the past 12 hours, I could not help but giggle. My friends had been in fine form today, everyone had been on fire. We had laughed until our stomachs hurt, there had been several times when I had laughed until I cried. We had selected the Ginger Flame as our team martini due to its incredible smoothness, and the ability to drink it all day long.

Plus the lighting of fire was sure to add to the craziness of the day. After all we had to make a statement! After the race finished, the consumption of the Ginger Flame increased, and everyone started to let loose. It was a full on summertime patio party with 200 of your closest friends. The Jamaican band had everyone grooving up a storm and the hotter it got the more clothes started to come off. As I sat back and watched the chaos around me I was incredibly entertained, there was never a dull moment. People watching at its finest: guys were hitting on the chicks and girls were making the moves on the guys. Chicks were grooving on the dance floor with other chicks and the guys just stood back and gawked. Naked people where in and out the hot tub, some of the naked scenery was great but others screamed 'put your clothes back on!' Couples where discreetly disappearing into the bushes or the bathroom and others where making out in plain view, to this one I say 'get a room.' But the best part of the people watching was that everyone had the hugest smile on their face because the party fun!

At one point, I sat back and sipped my martini. It was then that I realized I was surrounded by my closest friends. Most of these people I had known for years and we had shared many good times but we had also shared the not so fun times. We had cried together, freaked out together, and supported each other, and some how we always ended up laughing. I also realized that it had been over six months since we had all been together, how sad is it that when good friends have such a great time together they don’t do it more often. We always say that we will get together sooner but it doesn’t seem to happen until we are all motivated by some serious FOMO. Why is it that we prioritize everything else in our lives higher then having fun with good friends? We spend our days struggling with our jobs, families and relationships just to keep our heads above water, and somewhere along the way we have forgotten to have fun.

Conclusion:

The Ginger Flame is a very special martini that you reserve for those occasions where you just want to go out and let loose. The unique combination of Kurant Vodka, Cointreau, ginger and cranberry juice makes this martini full of amazing taste sensations. This is a martini that will make you forget the stresses of your life and allow you to relax and just have fun. Life is too short to miss out on spending time with great friends, so remember that your job will be there tomorrow but if you neglect your friends they might not. Martinis should always be consumed in moderation. However, when you have a special occasion with good friends and you need to light it up and let it rip then pull out the Ginger Flame and GO!
