Teeny's Peach Martini!

Happy Foodie Friday! Have you read Michael's new book Gone With A Handsomer Man yet?
It's really fun and has some great surprises! I thought I'd join the party with a themed post this week:

Teeny's Peach Martini
As Teeny awaits her ex-fiancée Bing at McTavish's Pub she orders a Peach Martini, the bartender brings her two because it's happy hour... The stool beside me creaked. I glanced up as a dark-haired man sat down and ordered a Guinness. He wore ragged jeans and a faded blue t-shirt with LAWYER OR LIAR-YOU MAKE THE CALL printed across the front. As he leaned his elbows on the counter, a curl fell down over familiar gray eyes.
Please God, not him.
Not Cooper O'Malley.

Peach Martini
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Peach Schnapps
1 oz Cranberry juice
Splash of orange juice
Mix all ingredients in a chilled cocktail shaker, pour into glass and garnish with peach slice.

So, who portrayed Cooper O'Malley in your mind's eye?
I enjoyed envisioning him as Matthew McConaughey-YUM:@)
Cheers!

    I agree with La! Course I am a sucker for Chocolate Martoonis lately. This one looks perfect for summer and sitting poolside! I may have to try one or five.

    I vote for a younger version of Tom Selleck, a very manly man! :) I'll take the original Tom, but Teeny is a young gal!

    Wish I had had a peach martini as I was reading. ;-) It's a fun book! I adore Michael Lee's characters, and Teeny didn't disappoint. See you tomorrow with my contribution. ~ Sarah

    I've met Matthew a couple of times. He's darling...on the big screen. If he's not too old by now...maybe Dennis Quaid. Fun opportunity to cast the role! Cherry Kay

    I agree "Matthew McConaughey"!!! My youngest grandson looks just like him, dimples & all. He's gonna be a heartbreaker, I just know it! ;-)

    I get off of work in an hour and fourteen minutes. I have to stop by the store by way home to pick up all the ingredients you've listed and I bet you can guess what I'll be doing this evening!
