Like most of my favorite martini cocktails, I first tried this one at a restaurant bar. It was on the “specials” list, and sounded so unique – I just had to try it! After all, I do like Fig Newton cookies – could it have the same taste? I also […]
You can’t go wrong with a chocolate martini. For this one, I used a pretty basic chocolate martini recipe, but modified it into a CHOCOLATE IRISH CREAM MARTINI. You can use any kind of vodka you have on hand, or that you prefer. I used Pinnacle Whipped Vodka, but you […]
Fresh blueberries in season, and a mint plant growing on my patio – a match made in heaven! Make that a CHOCOLATE MINT plant! Even better! If you love a flavored martini as much as I do – you may just find this one irresistible! I muddled some fresh blueberries, […]
I’m kind of on a roll with key lime lately. I really LOVE the flavor of key lime. I’ve made a key lime cupcake, a key lime cake, key lime cheesecake pops, and now a I’m sharing my key lime martini! My girlfriends and I have been known to make […]
I love the flavor of almond, in just about anything – cake for sure, candy, cereal, I also add almonds to yogurt and salad, but put it in a martini, and I’m in heaven! I don’t remember where this recipe crossed my path, but it’s been in my collection for […]
I’ve been trying to come up with a raspberry martini that suits my taste for a while now. Most of them I find very sweet. When I want a cocktail, I want it to be refreshing, but just slightly sweet; flavorful, but not too boozey! I think I have settled […]
Well if a chocolate chili cupcake gets you excited, wait til you taste this amazing martini! Stumbled upon this vodka, AND the martini recipe that goes with it, in Galena, Illinois. There is a local distillery there called Blaum Bros. – http://www.blaumbros.com. They make a chili-infused vodka called “Hellfyre”. It’s […]
I first had this “clear” martini, called an “Invisible Cosmo” – at Biaggi’s italian restaurant a few years ago. I’ve see a similar recipe called a “white cosmo”. Whatever you call it – it’s delicious! I have enjoyed this before a lovely dinner, or sitting out on the back patio […]
I was at Wildfire in Schaumburg when I tasted my first “Tini”. It was green apple, and I immediately became a fan. I liked everything about it! Instead of a “straight up” martini (which I don’t like) – this one had more flavor to it than the taste of just […]
