“Becky, Love Potion #9 was a showstopper. Thank you for the idea and for your attention to detail. Genius! You are truly amazing.” -Barbara

Pomegranate Martini (Love Potion #9)

This Triple Berry Martini blends Chambord (black raspberry liqueur), strawberry vodka, and pomegranate juice for the vibrant purple hue. The strawberry hearts and smoky effect from dry ice add an elegant touch to this delicious drink. Martinis are completely safe to enjoy once the dry ice fully dissolves or you can skip the dry ice and still can enjoy this incredible drink!

Tips For Beginners

Putting dry ice in cocktails is a great way to make them extra cold. Once the dry ice has dissolved, it is okay to drink. Find tips on handling dry ice for cocktails.

  • You cannot drink dry ice. Make sure it has fully dissolved before sipping. It takes about 5-10 minutes for a small piece to dissolve. Do not ingest the cubes. 
  • Dry ice is extremely cold! Touching it briefly won’t be a problem, but prolonged contact can cause frostbite. Just use tongs or something to drop the ice into the glasses instead of using your bare hands.

How to Make Love Potion (Pomegranate Martini) Step by Step

Combine the fruity cocktails: In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of pomegranate juice, 3 ounces strawberry vodka and 3 ounces of Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur. Shake to combine.

Add dry ice carefully: Place 1 chunk (out of 2 chunks) dry ice into the bottom of each glass.

Pour martini in glasses and serve: Pour the martini into the glass (directly over the dry ice). Garnish the glasses with the little strawberry hearts!

Now sit back and enjoy the show! Be sure to wait a good 5-10 minutes before consuming the drink. The dry ice needs to dissolve completely.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! i see why you were so excited to be doing it. I love the drama of this drink. We will be doing a Valentine’s dinner on the 5th, and we will be serving this drink. It is the most beautiful drink on the internet. Thanks for sharing it. Please tell me how small the dry ice pieces should be. Would it be like 1/4 of an inch? How do you safely divide the dry ice into small the pieces? Thank you!!!!5 stars

We would say no larger than a 1-inch by 1-inch piece of dry ice. You can wrap it in a towel and use a hammer or meat mallet to break it up!

You can find arrow skewers on Amazon or Etsy! As for strawberries, you’ll want to cut the stem out in a v shape making it a heart then slice the strawberry in half.
