A while back I shared a recipe for the Viral Hillstone Restaurant's Crisp Martini, also known as the "Sauvy B Martini." I shared the recipe with my BFF Jenny (of Aunt Jenny's Watermelon Salad) She loves to cook and entertain like I do. She also has a Ninja Slushi Professional Drink Maker. All summer we have been sharing our concoctions with each other. Last weekend we were having a chat and she said,
"Have you figured out a frozen version of the Hillstone Martini yet?"
I said, "No, not yet. Just do the Frozen Hugo Spritz, it's similar."
Her response was, "We have and it's good, but WE WANT a Frozen Hillstone!"
So on Sunday, I was tired from a previous late-night concert, but started dragging out bottles from the bar. Mr. Devilish Dish asked, "Surely you are not making a cocktail are you?"
And I said, "I HAVE TO. Jenny NEEDS me!"
I feel like we've created enough cocktails in our Ninja Slushi this summer, that we are learning to get the right balance of ingredients for the maximum frozen experience, because I NAILED THIS on the first try. The perfect blend of floral flavor from the St. Germain Liqueur and the Gin, plus the tang of lemon juice and Sauvignon Blanc wine and just a little sweetness from some simple syrup. This might be my favorite concoction of the summer. The Martini is delicious as is, but a spin through the Ninja Slushi takes it to the next level. The were so refreshing as we sat in our little pool Sunday in the unforgiving Oklahoma heat and thoroughly enjoyed them.

from our Ninja Slushi!
| Even better in our pool. We call it the grown-up pool because it has two seats and two cup holders. Perfect for holding a Frozen Hillstone Crisp Martini if you put it in the right glass. |
| It was so hot even Ghirardelli got in the pool to cool off! |
