OSCAR PARTY MARTINIS - The Hollywood Martini

Get more of my

OSCAR COCKTAILS HERE

Like classic black and white movies that have been colorized, The Hollywood Martini is a classic martini that has been flavorized! A little orange flavored liqueur adds bit of LaLaLand Sun and a splash of champagne adds the bling. The garnish of real gold is a nod to the famous Oscar statue!

Serve up with some Oscar night snacks being posted this week at The Diva of Tiny Foods and have fun watching the ever so gorgeous Hugh Jackman host this year.

By the way, did you know that Hugh Jackman's son is named OSCAR?

VALENTINE'S DAY MARTINIS - Sex on the Beach Gets Some Love

The Sex on Valentine's Day Martini is a variation of the Sex on the Beach Cocktail dressed up for February 14th. The cranberry juice is replaced here with Chambord, a raspberry liqueur, which results in a sweeter, less tart cocktail.

The use of cute retro Conversation Heart candies for the garnish give this martini a fun Valentine look. The candies will dissolve slowly and the last sip will be a sugar rush with a little crunch.

VALENTINE'S DAY MARTINIS - A Lonely Heart Martini

The Desperate Valentine Martini is a cocktail for those of us without that 'special someone' to be our Valentine on February 14th. It's made with 3 vodkas AND coconut rum to help numb the lonely hearts of those alone on the most romantic day of the year.

It's really delicious - dangerously so! So only one of these and no driving anywhere! If you're so lonely you have two then don't even walk anywhere! Trust me, these go down way too easy.

For the lonely but brave out there I suggest a little anti-Valentine party to cheer yourself up too. First, click over to the Diva of Tiny Foods today and grab my recipe for Chocolate Fondue - chocolate is proven to bring your spirits up! Then get yourself a handful of darts, a nice big picture of that chubby little Gangsta of Love - Cupid - and play a little game of Valentine Voodoo on that fat little fertility fraud!

Warning - put the cat away before you start throwing darts if you've already had one of the Desperate Valentine Martinis.

To help you out I have developed the Valentine's Day Proposal Martini - a positively pink and sweet martini that will put your intended in the proper mood to accept! All you need to do is shake this up and drop in that spectacular ring and you'll be all that closer to wedded bliss! (And drop over to The Diva of Tiny Foods for a Valentine's Day Menu for the celebratory supper.

BTW, I love weddings and if you think my martini helped at all you could send me an invitation as a thank you. . . . .

VALENTINE'S DAY MARTINIS - A Valentine Surprise Cocktail

The Valentine Surprise Martini is going to require a little more than just some booze and mixers. That's because the surprise involves something gold and sparkly to match the edible gold flakes you'll be sprinkling on top of this creamy chocolate and berry martini!

That's right, I'm talking a nice little piece of jewelry - some flashy bling for your Valentine (or yourself!) Honey, I'm talkin' the real deal here - don't go buying some cheap costume junk and trying to pass it off! If you want to get some action you'd better pony up with some serious gems and minerals!

If your wallet is feeling the economic pinch then forgo the jewels and bring one perfect red rose - a real rose please! Or if you can stretch it a nice dozen of pink and red roses. But don't you dare show up empty handed on Valentine's Day!

Hop on over to the Diva of Tiny Foods for today's recipe for the Valentine's Day Menu.
