Stolichnaya White Pomegranik Gimlet and Greyhound

It won't surprise you to hear that, here at Holidash we love to entertain. Meticulously planned parties, impromptu soirees -- we love them all. And one of our favorite things to do when we're holding a get-together is introduce our friends to a fabulous new cocktail; one that will tickle their taste buds and leave them wondering what exactly went into that delectable concoction.

With the recent hot weather, we've been seeking something slightly sweet and fruity, and luckily for us Stolichnaya Vodka came to the rescue. In honor of the release of Stoli's newest flavored vodka, White Pomegranik, they sent us recipes to a couple of cocktails we're dying to try. If it's "research for work," do we really have to wait for happy hour?
