First it was appletini's, chocolate martinis, and many different variations of martinis in between. The popular martini of today is the Pomegranate Martini. Oprah being the woman of sophistication that she is, is also a big fan of the pomegranate martini, and here is her exact recipe, a recipe developed by Rachael Ray. Oprah's Pomegranate Martini is delicious!
