RUDOLPH'S REINDEER MARTINI RECIPE


It's that time of year again - time for your favorite Christmas Martinis and Holiday Cocktails! I'm starting with the favorites from last year and will be adding new Holiday Martinis until Santa Claus departs from the North Pole on his yearly flight.

This is Rudolf's Reindeer Martini - it helps light up his nose for that traditional world flight! The rum keeps him warm and the Bailey's and vodka keep him happy during all those landings and take-offs! If it's good enough for Rudolf you can't go wrong!

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE MARTINI Cocktail Recipe

 

Just because strawberries might be out of season that shouldn't stop you from enjoying them year round in cocktails. I always keep some frozen fruits in my freezer and strawberries are the ones I use on a weekly basis. Aside from making great drinks with them I also make strawberry coulees for dessert sauces and plate decoration.

Strawberry topped cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and this, frankly, is better because it has booze. If you can't get a fresh strawberry for your garnish just dip a frozen one in sugar and place that on the rim, it's like a strawberry popsicle.

This CHOCOLATE MARTINI has a hint of Banana and Coconut - This one's for you Jim!

This chocolate-banana-coconut martini is the perfect cocktail for that big ape in your life! Sometimes you need a little something to sooth the savage beast and banana and coconut flavored chocolate should do the trick. The chocolate sprinkles on the rim give it even more monkey shine!

I'm dedicating this to my good buddy, Jim since I've spent years teasing him by calling him a big ape! He's the best male primate I know.

The RASPBERRY MARTINI

Though simple, this is a really great cocktail. I take it up a notch by dipping the fresh raspberries in sugar and freezing them before hand. I also spear them onto martini picks so I don't have to wait to the end of the martini to eat them or dip my finger in to fish them out.
