Lizzie Borden Martini?
Now I’ve heard everything! In today’s Fall River Hearld.

Fall River —
Flaunt Lounge Martini & Wine Bar at 32 Sixth St. knows exactly where it is located. That’s why it offers the Lizzie Borden martini on its extensive drinks menu.
It’s a bold and tangy concoction, much like Fall River’s own Lisbeth Borden. It’s based with tomato juice to depict the blood that stained the victims and house that fateful day 116 years ago.
If lounge-goers don’t care for tomato juice, or God forbid, for Lizzie, they can sample other city-inspired cocktails, like the Corky Row, the Highland Ave., the South End or even the Fall Riviera.
If they’d like to escape the city, there’s always the Pink Panther, cosmopolitan, French kiss or the Paris Hilton (made with champagne of course).
Lizzie Borden Martini
2 ounces vodka
3 ounces tomato juice
1/2 ounce lemon juice
Black pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste
Splash of Worcestershire sauce
Olives
Chill the martini glass. In a tumbler filled with ice, mix all ingredients, shake and strain into the glass. Garnish with three olives and say cheers to Lizzie!

Actually, it sounds like nothing more than a strong Bloody Mary– how bad can that be?!? At least it’s not vodka with chilled mutton broth!
