July 18th is NATIONAL CAVIAR DAY and I couldn't let it pass without giving you a fun way to have caviar in your booze. I got so riled up that I actually came up with a Caviar Martini AND Edible Caviar Cocktail Gels (aka Jello Shots.)
We may not be living in the greed driven, decadent 1980's and we may not be awash in a life of luxury but there's no reason why we can't grab a little bit of gourmet for one martini or a glitzy edible bite at happy hour, right?
The
CAVIAR MARTINI
