A pomegranate is one of those chic fruits. So are cranberries. Blueberries earn high praise from dietitians for their antioxidants. Luckily, fruit can be combined into tasty drinks. Professional mixologist Doug McCowan at Jimmy Oh's, 3241 W. Iles Ave., makes a fruity martini designed to make everyone sit up and swear berries are the best.

• 1 oz Vincent Van Gogh Acai Blueberry Vodka
• 2 oz  Pama Pomegranate Liqueur
• ¼ oz triple sec
• Splash of cranberry juice
• Splash of pineapple juice
• Shake well and strain into a chilled 6 oz martini glass
