Root Beer Float Martini

I have created many Ice Cream Cocktails and one of my favorites is the Root Beer Float!

So, without further adieu, here is the
ROOT BEER FLOAT MARTINI
a step right back into the days of driving up to the A&W and having a car-hop bring you a frosty treat just bubbling away with creamy goodness.

Yes, I know there are root beer infused vodkas out there but this was my original recipe and, frankly, it tastes just like a real root beer float, just with a bit of a kick - and you're not stuck with a whole bottle of vodka you can only use in one or two recipes.

Berry and Chocolate Martini Sundae - Frozen Frappe Fun!

With all the fresh raspberries at the farmer's market I decided to do my Berry Chocolate Frappe Martini for dessert last night - except I did it with a bit of a twist!

Get the recipe for the original
BERRY CHOCOLATE FRAPPE MARTINI HERE
on a recipe card.

I replaced the half and half with 2-1/2 Cups of vanilla ice cream and added 1 cup of frozen raspberries then blended it all together, poured it into a stainless steel bowl, covered it with saran wrap and froze it. Then I poured the Creme de Cacao and the Berry Vodka into a small bowl, added 1 Cup of good chocolate syrup and blended this together, covered it too and refrigerated it. I left out the vanilla vodka and the half and half as the ice cream brings these flavor profiles into play.

I chilled my 2 martini glasses in the freezer as well and when my raspberry ice cream was set up, I scooped it into my chilled martini glasses, poured the chocolate berry sauce over the top, garnished them with a few fresh raspberries and some chocolate shavings and served up my martini with a spoon!

The Box Car Martini - Classic Cocktails are Back!

I got a hold of some pasteurized egg whites this week at the grocery store so it's time to enjoy a few of my favorite classic cocktails that require egg whites - one of them being a Box Car cocktail.

I enjoy some of the old classic cocktails from the era of prohibition every once in a while and The Box Car Martini is favorite. Every time I drink one I think of flappers, bathtub gin and how cocktails really got their big push in this era as a way to hide the terrible moonshine that passed for alcohol in those days!

Many of these classic cocktails that used egg in them went out of fashion because of the fear of Salmonella from raw eggs. Now you can buy pasteurized egg whites and even egg white powder to get that lovely frothy effect, so let's bring back some of these great classics - but let's serve them up in a martini glass, lol.

WHITE TRASH LEMON DROP MARTINI - Fer Yer Moonshine!

Do you have your old sofa on the porch outside? Is your last car still sitting in your driveway - up on cement blocks? Can you read the daily news on your curtains?

Then this might be the cocktail for you: The WHITE TRASH LEMON DROP MARTINI - a mouthful of moonshine mayhem in a mason jar on stilts! Yee-Haw!

Even the banjo playing kid on that porch in Deliverance could shake this martini up - it's simply vodka and lemonade concentrate garnished with a dash of hee-haw.

I'm dedicating this martini to my friend Debbie - it was entirely her idea! Suddenly last Saturday she found herself delightfully alone in her home, no man, no kids and no one bugging her. She had a day of "me time" bliss and wanted to celebrate with an hour of chillin' and a martini. Sadly, she had been eaten and drunk out of house and home by the above mentioned man and kids - her larder boasted only an almost empty bottle of plain vodka and a can of frozen lemonade. When I called her she was happily sipping what she called her "White Trash Lemon Drop" martini - I immediately pictured a mason jar drinking glass on a martini stem - I cracked up and promptly told her I was stealing the name!

I think I'm going to have to do a series of redneck - hillbilly martinis now. . . anyone know where I can get my hands on some moonshine or Everclear??

Bubble Gum Martini 2 - The Remix!

The Bubble Gum Martini Revisited

Recently Three Olives Vodka came out with a new bubble gum flavored vodka, Bubble. A few years ago I posted a recipe for a Bubble Gum Martini as part of my retro candy inspired martini series. That was back in the days before bubble gum flavored vodka.

With the advent of this new, fun vodka I had to give the Bubble Gum Martini another whirl. This time I've used Three O's Bubble, half & half and a splash of Grenadine to give the martini that distinctive pink color. I have to admit this is a lot easier and the bubble gum taste is spot on, it's like I had a glassful of Bazooka.
