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!

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?

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!
