JACKASS, THE MARTINI - Summer Rerun of Funny

I'm in a good mood today and decided it would be fun to post JACKASS, THE MARTINI - a joke recipe inspired by what I consider one of the stupidest movies of all time (except maybe Borat), that's right it's JACKASS, The Movie. I finally got talked into watching it and could only make it through about 15 minutes of the sophomoric antics. But it did give me the idea for this funny martini recipe!

BTW, you can actually make and drink this martini (minus the jock strap ingredient) if you're truly a big enough Jackass to try! Warning, this recipe is a joke - it is only a joke - do not blame me if you try it and choke!

The Swaggetizer Martini

I admit it, I am a Tweeter. I also admit to checking out "trending topics" on Twitter daily as sometimes they are newsworthy threads. Most often they are silly or just plain drivel but my habit of checking them out sometimes points me at a trending topic that tweaks my imagination.

Today it was #Swaggetizer. I couldn't find anything that explained what it was or why it was trending but I decided to enter the fray and create a cocktail for it. I admit I was bored and needed some momentary entertainment.

 Whatever that means.

The RCH BTCH Martini - Raspberry and Orange Martini

Today's cocktail is a delicious raspberry and orange martini that will satisfy any high maintenance rich diva.

The RCH BTCH Martini is one of my stand by favorites. It was one of my very first designer martini recipes, I had one of these before I even tried an Apple Martini. I developed this before I had gotten my first order of edible gold or, trust me, I would included the gold flakes as garnish for this one, so feel free to bring it up with some edible gold.

I love the flavor combination of the Chambord (raspberry liqueur) and Grand Marnier but without the soda these two liqueurs and orange juice are a bit too sweet so don't forget it! I have been known to cut them with an ounce of raspberry vodka instead but only when I'm having one single martini - that addition really kicks up the danger level!

A GOLDEN CINNAMON APPLE MARTINI, The Millionaire Martini

It's summer and everyone else is doing it and so why can't I? What am I talking about? Repeats! Yes, I am going to re post the recipe cards from some of my very first martinis on this blog starting with this fun apple cinnamon martini that gets its bling from real gold!

The Millionaire Martini is a top request when I have guests and a favorite download here. I think people love the idea of the edible gold flakes that float in the Goldschlager and the extra ones in the rimmer. It's also a fun recipe card that everyone tells me people love when they do parties.

So, enjoy and throw yourself a Money Party - you can get fun money gear here to add some Pop to your Money Party:

The Last PINK MARTINI - The Pink Squirrel!

Today's is the last Pink Martini for Think Pink and it's a classic - The Pink Squirrel Martini. Based on the classic Pink Squirrel Cocktail. The Creme de Noyaux is an almond flavored liqueur made from apricot pits very much like Amaretto so if you have a hard time finding the Noyaux you can try Amaretto but it's not the same pink color!!

Thanks for joining me for my Think Pink for the Cure campaign - but don't stop thinking or drinking pink - let's keep up the push to find a cure for breast cancer!

ANOTHER PINK DIVA MARTINI for Think Pink!

 
The Pink Diva Martini is really a pink version of a lemon drop martini - with the citrus vodka and the fresh lemon juice it's only pink because of the splash of grenadine.

There are so many recipe versions for Lemon Drop Martinis out there anyone can find a tart/sweet ratio to suit them! I have three posted myself so far: The Classic Lemon Drop Martini - The Cherry Lemon Drop Martini - The Pomegranate Lemon Drop Martini

PINK SLING-A-TINI - The Singapore Sling Goes Diva for Think Pink!

The Pink Sling-a-Tini is my take on the Singapore Sling that was created by Ngiam Tong Boon at the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Originally called the Straits Sling or possibly derived from it this was a popular drink during the 1920s and then again in the 1950s.

I believe the original recipe used Kirsch instead of the Cherry Heering and you can try this recipe both ways - I prefer the Cherry Heering myself.

This is a very sweet "girly" drink but don't be taken in by it's pink color and the sweetness - this one packs a serious punch!
