White Chocolate Martini

Ho Ho Ho, it must be Christmas time, because the White Chocolate Martini's are flowing.

Every year we put on a Christmas Party and every guest is greeted with a welcome drink.  We tried these a few years ago and they were a massive hit, and have become our staple welcome drink at Christmas.

They are very easy to make, creamy, delicious and very festive.

White Chocolate Martini

1oz Vanilla Vodka or Whipping Cream Vodka
1oz White Creme De Cacao
1oz Heavy Cream or Whipping Cream

Mix all ingredients in a martini shaker until the outside is frosty.
Pour into martini glass.
Garnish with shaved chocolate.


                 
                                                     
                 

                                       



Give them a try and let us know what you think.

Do you have a favorite martini?  We would love to hear about it.


Now that's Creative!

Pomegranate Margarita


On a recent trip to Mexico we discover this great treat that makes the best Pomegranate Margaritas -- Pomegranate Tequila.   And I could not wait to get home to make up a batch or two.

Pomegranate Tequilia

Pomegranate Margarita

Ingredients 


  • 1 cup tequila (Pomegranate if you are lucky enough to get your hands on some)
  • 1 cup triple sec
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 4 cups ice
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice

Directions

Pour the tequila and triple sec into a pitcher. Sprinkle in the confectioners' sugar, and stir to dissolve. Add the ice, and pour in the pomegranate juice and lime juice. Stir to mix, then serve. You can add more tequila to taste if you're a professional.


You can sugar coat the rim if you desire and garnish with a lime wedge




This summer I also discovered the best idea ever...........Mason Jar Frozen Margaritas

Pretty much the same, except, no ice or blender needed.


Mason Jar Frozen Pomegranate Margarita

Ingredients 


  • 1 cup tequila (Pomegranate if you are lucky enough to get your hands on some)
  • 1 cup triple sec
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice 

Directions

Put all ingredients in a picture.  
Stril until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour in mason jars and cover with lids.
Put in freezer and wait for them to freeze up.

NOTE:  they will not freeze completely, they will be nice and slushy.



 Best thing ever, is you can make a large batch and have a freezer full, so they are ready whenever you want one to enjoy, or when unexpected company comes over, you have ready made cocktails.






This has unlimited possibilities with various flavours.  Let me know what you think and what flavours you have experimented with.

Cheers!
