CANDY BAR MARTINI - The Peanut Butter Cup Martini



The PEANUT BUTTER CUP-A-TINI is made with Castries Peanut Rum Creme which is really unique and truly 'peanutty' tasting. If you can't find the Castries, you can substitute Frangelico which is a hazelnut liqueur, but the Castries really brings the peanut flavor home.

Enjoy!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Martini Recipe


Did I say Peanut Butter and Jelly Martini? PB & J as a Cocktail? Sure, why not? It never hurts to have a little fun at happy hour.

This is an updated recipe using Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey. I got a bottle as a gift and, surprisingly, really liked it. Weirdly,  whiskey and peanut butter make good friends, who knew?

This is truly a unique cocktail, it's a bit like peanut butter and jelly with a whiskey back.

HOW TO MAKE CLEAR ICE AT HOME FOR COCKTAILS

I'm sure you've looked at the cloudy ice made in your home freezer and compared it to the crystal clear ice you buy, haven't you? The reason your home made ice is cloudy is from air bubbles trapped in the ice as it freezes and from the minerals in the tap water you're probably using! It would be nice to have that beautiful clear ice for your drinks and it's not as hard as you would think.

I was watching "Food Detectives" on the Food Network with host Ted Allen when he addressed this problem and gave directions on how to make your own crystal clear ice:
  • First, you have to use DISTILLED WATER. It has no minerals like your tap water.
  • Then you boil the water and let it cool down - TWICE.
  • Fill your ice cube tray sections one third of the way and freeze that layer.
  • Repeat this 3 times until your trays are filled.
When you pop your ice you will see that you have some beautiful clear ice cubes for your cocktails!

Thanks Ted!

CANDY MARTINIS - The Candy Apple Martini


I'm having a Retro Trivia Contest over at The PopArtDiva Blog this week and the prize is a set of DKNY's Candy Apple Fragrances so it's fitting to post my Candy Apple Martini today!

Posting birthday/celebration martinis for my birthday month seems to be tying in nicely with my other blogs and events - must be a birthday present from the gods. I made a shaker of my Candy Bar-tini's to go with the Pop Art Cupcakes I got inspired to bake and decorate - and those were inspired by my gourmet cupcake run and my Pop Art Cupcake art. I'm going to be in a sugar coma by the end of the month, lol.

Anyhoo, the Candy Apple Martini uses the same flavor/scent signatures of the Ripe Raspberry Candy Apple perfume - Raspberry (liqueur) and Apple (vodka and Apple Pucker). When I opened the perfumes the first time my first reaction was they smelled like my apple martinis, lol. Now I can wear a fragrance that matches my martinis - how Martini Diva is that, lol?

If you're an Apple Martini fan you're going to love this candy martini and the candied apple slice you float on top is a nice little treat to top it off!
