I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season so far! Next week it's unlikely that I'll be online around Wednesday so I hope Tambra doesn't mind that I'm following her lead and adding one of my holiday recipes as well today. Right now it's almost seventy degrees and that's actually cooled down a little if you can believe it. Still, not exactly hot chocolate weather. So, I decided to share one of my favorite recipes that's even better than hot chocolate...the Key Lime Martini. When I lived in The Keys, I snagged this from a bartender and it's fabulous :) I didn't take this picture, but this is exactly what it's supposed to look like! This is one of my favorite drinks around the holidays.
Key Lime Pie Martini (For those 21 and older only)
Ingredients:
2 oz. Lemon flavored vodka (ex. Bacardi Limon)
1 oz. half and half (or heavy cream)
1 oz. Licor 43
Splash fresh lime juice
Note: If you can’t find Licor 43, replace the lemon flavored vodka for vanilla flavored vodka, add two tablespoons of lime juice instead of a splash and you’re good to go!
Pour all ingredients into cocktail shaker (over ice). Shake until well mixed. Strain into chilled martini glass. If you want to get really fancy, rub lime juice around the glass rim, then dip into graham cracker crumbs for a pretty display (before straining mix of course)

I love how the graham crackers look like sand! kind of cool!
Nice! I know a martini connoisseur who'd love this recipe.
OMG! That sounds so good! Going to have to try that.
Seriously, it's just like eating keylime pie! I'm craving one now :)
I think I'd like to try that drink. It looks great.
Hugs,
Tambra
