For you tequila lovers here's a fun blue colored tequila martini:
The Blue Moon Martini

If you can find the blue Maraschino cherries it really pulls the whole look together. I found mine at the grocery store in the booze aisle believe it or not - they were raspberry flavored. People really get excited over blue cherries for some reason, lol.

I am finally putting together the full website for The Martini Diva and it's a huge undertaking - with nearly 300 recipes (and growing) I have a big job going. It's going to be a really great martini website though - each recipe will have it's own page with the free recipe card for you to download, plus any information on that martini, I will also have several ways to search for martinis, martini tips and articles, jokes, quotes, drinking games and all sorts of fun.

But. . . .I discovered I had very few tequila martinis! Something I am going to have to address once the website is up and running. I prefer vodka myself so I have a ton of those as well as a good number of rum martinis but I have neglected the tequila martinis! I have to get more tequila and get to work!

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.
