CHRISTMAS MARTINIS - Egg Nog Martini


I had a friend over last night and we shared a couple of these Diva Nogatinis. Yes, it is basically spiked egg nog but, as I've said before, everything tastes better in a martini glass, lol!

Last night I added a little purple sugar crystals to the rimming sugar to complement my Hand Painted Pop Art Martini Glasses I served them in:

CHRISTMAS MARTINIS - Winter Snowflake Martini




The
WINTER SNOWFLAKE MARTINI RECIPE
has moved here.

I have a friend who loves Amaretto so I created this martini for her. My favorite part of this martini is the chocolate flavored candy canes, lol. I found great ones made with Hershey's Chocolate last year at Walmart and nearly ate them all before they made it to a martini!

Don't use regular mint candy canes - the mint doesn't go well with the Amaretto, or at least I don't think it does. If you can't find the chocolate candy canes garnish with an almond cookie or rim the glass with the nutmeg mixed with sugar.

CHRISTMAS MARTINIS - White Christmas Martini

 
The White Christmas Martini is one of my most popular Christmas Martinis because it's basically spiked egg nog! Yup, a little Captain Morgan's rum and a sprinkling of Edible Gold Flakes and you have the classic holiday cheer transported into a classy holiday martini!
I just bought a quart of egg nog and my annual bottle of Captain Morgan's just for this delish martini. There's something so "It's a Wonderful Life" about egg nog at Christmas time. Every time a martini glass clinks and angel gets its wings, lol!

THANKSGIVING MARTINIS! Fall Apple Jack Martini

Updated November 2015
This recipe has moved to the database below.


 Another whiskey based martini - like the Cranberry A Go-Go below only this time using apple as the flavor. This reminds me of Apple Jack - a liqueur distilled from apples - though I think the whiskey actually gives this a more complex flavor than Apple Jack.

This martini is perfect served with smoked cheeses and could be a nice Man Martini for those macho types who scoff at girly drinks, lol. It's sweet but it's got Jack Daniels in it - just lower the level of apple pucker and put more Jack in it - you won't hear any male grumbling at all.

In case you missed them - here's the links to my other Thanksgiving Martinis

GINGERBREAD MARTINI

 GINGERBREAD MARTINI Cocktail Recipe

The Gingerbread Martini is my 2nd favorite holiday cocktail* because it tastes just like my Mom's Gingersnap cookies (Recipe below). Those have been and will always be my favorite cookies ever, but cookies take a lot more work than making a cocktail. What's really cool about this Gingerbread Martini is it's like getting gingerbread cookies and milk together with the added benefit of booze.
