Last weekend I was introduced to the splendor that is the pomegranate martini, and I am in love. I need to master this drink, and would love to see your recipies for my "scientific field research".

This is what I have so far (via google):

Jason Kosmas of Pravda in New York City
Adapted by StarChefs
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Fresh Squeezed Pomegranate Juice*
2 ounces Vodka
1/4 ounce Simple Syrup**

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass.
Shake vigorously with ice and strain into a Chilled Martini Glass.

* To make Pomegranate Juice, cut a ripe medium sized pomegranate in half and squeeze with any conventional juicer. Each Pomegranate should yield about 4 ounces of juice.
** Simple Syrup is made by combining equal parts superfine sugar and water, bringing it to a boil, and letting it simmer until it's the consistency of honey.
***
Oprah's Pomegranate Martini, Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
2 oz. Absolute Citron vodka OR white tequila
1 oz. Cointreau liquor
Cup of ice
Optional: Splash of sparkling water
Optional: Squeeze of lemon
Shake ingredients in a shaker and put in chilled martini glasses. Put pomegranate fruit into glass as garnish.
***
2 oz citrus vodka
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz fresh pomegranate juice
1 oz simple syrup
Shake all ingredients well with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Add a dash of rose water if available. Garnish with flamed orange peel, and serve.

How does one make a "flamed orange peel", anyways? Pass it through a flame for a few seconds?
And yes, I'll juice fresh poms if I can find them. The martini I had last weekend had a raspberry in the bottom, it was a great touch.
