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.

 FALL APPLE JACK MARTINI 

 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.

GINGERBREAD MARTINI

 

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.

The

GINGERBREAD

MARTINI

INGREDIENTS 

1-1/2 Oz. Gingerbread Liqueur

1/2 Oz Coffee Vodka

1 Oz. Irish Cream Liqueur

THANKSGIVING MARTINIS! Cranberry Martini!

So, why do I call this the CRANBERRY A-GO-GO MARTINI? Because it's made with whiskey and my baby boomer brain immediately thought of the famous Whiskey A GO GO, the famous nightclub on The Strip (Sunset Blvd.) in L.A. The Whiskey opened in 1964 and most of the icons of Rock & Roll played there or wandered in at one time or another during it's heyday in the 60s and 70s. I know, the only thing that really has to do with martinis is both involve booze but that's how my brain rolls these days, lol.

That being said, if you're a Jack Daniels fan this Cranberry Martini is a perfect Thanksgiving cocktail for you! It brings in the cranberry element of Thanksgiving dinner in a whole new way!

Stop by The Diva of Tiny Foods for some great appetizers to go with your martinis! And if you're feeling the need for some retro pop culture or pop art swing by The PopArtDiva Blog for some trivia, history and other boomer brain spasms like the one above, lol.

THANKSGIVING MARTINIS! Candy Appled Martini

Download the Full Sized, 5x3 Recipe Card in Print Quality Here

The Candy Appled Martini is a fun raspberry-apple flavored martini that uses apple vodka and sour apple pucker for a really nice apple kick. It's just like having a nice apple cider with a little holiday kick. I buy one of those soft candy apples and slice it up for a garnish - the hard coating apples don't slice up too great, lol.

I like to serve this with a small appetizer plate of smoked Gouda and some crackers - nothing too hearty or filling, especially if you're doing this just before your big Thanksgiving dinner.
