#001 CARROT CAKE MARTINI

So our blog’s name is a riff on an original drink recipe of ours. It would make sense to start with that drink (we’ll get to it soon) but for this inaugural recipe post, we want to offer something that will have you begging for more. The Carrot Cake Martini will do just that. Admittedly, our recipe was taken from one found through grouprecipes.com. But when you find something this good, you’ve got to share. Hands down, this martini has it all: 1) it’s insanely simple, 2) it’s delicious and impeccably balanced and 3) it’s a bit of an aphrodisiac.

Get ready... to drink:
1 1/2 ounce Vanilla Vodka
1 ounce Butterscotch Liqueur
1/2 ounce Cinnamon Schnapps

Get ready... to rim:
Assorted drink paraphernalia
Cinnamon graham crackers
Granulated sugar
Cream cheese

Get ready... to ravage:

Ready? Set? Go!
1. Fill shaker half full with ice cubes and chips.
2. Add liquor. Nothing fancy here - just measure and pour.
3. Swirl and let stand while preparing martini glass rim.
4. Smear a small amount of cream cheese on the rim of your glass. Press into finely crushed graham and sugar.
5. Get that drink, give it a good shake, strain, pour and enjoy.









Love everybody in the room. Bye.
