If you love chocolate, mint and cookies this martini is for you. The Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cacao combine with the cream to give you that lovely mint and chocolate filling experience and the rim of actual crushed Mint Milano cookies is way too much fun.

This is a perfect dessert martini - serve it up with a couple of the actual cookies and your guests will think you're a god or goddess of goodies.

The S'MORES SHOOTER for National S'mores Day


PLEASE SIR, I'D LIKE S'MORE!

You know the old saying "Forget Love, I'd Rather Fall In Chocolate"? Well, the S'Mores Shooter (or S'Mores Shot) is what I'd like to fall into. It has all the classic flavors of the campfire treat - chocolate, marshmallow and a graham cracker rim garnish.

For a real campfire experience:
Get some votive candles and bamboo skewers and have your guests toast their own marshmallows over the flames for s'mores to go with the shots. But make sure you keep the flames and the booze far apart for safety's sake.

*Why are they called S'mores? Because after you eat one you want some more, of course.

JIMMY BUFFETT MARTINI - Parrotheads Rejoice!


ODE TO JIMMY BUFFETT MARTINI

MORE PINA COLADA RECIPES HERE

I admit it, I am a Parrothead - I love Jimmy Buffett music. It's perfect tropical party music and needs a tropical party martini. A blue martini to match the beautiful tropical ocean and sky.

The Jimmy Buffett martini is a luscious concoction of passion fruit vodka, coconut rum, pineapple juice and papaya garnish that gets its Caribbean blue color from Blue Curacao. Blue Curacao just happens to be a citrus flavored liqueur from the island of Curacao in the Caribbean! Can't get more island than that!

It should go great with that Cheeseburger in Paradise!

TROPICAL WATERMELON MARTINI with Passionfruit!

Doing a little housekeeping! The recipe for my Tropical Watermelon Martini has moved!

Get the recipe for my

TROPICAL WATERMELON MARTINI

Here's a martini that is unique and refreshing for cooling that summer heat - it uses both watermelon vodka and passion fruit vodka for a truly unusual and tropical taste. Try it out with some fresh watermelon juice or even passion fruit juice in place of the orange juice for a slightly different flavor. I cut up a watermelon this morning and the amount of juice in the bottom of the bowl was just enough for one martini.

Pineapple Orange Colada Martini - TROPICAL MARTINI #4


THE PINEAPPLE ORANGE COLADA MARTINI

This martini gives an orange twist to a Pina Colada with citrus vodka and a little fresh orange juice. I've often made smoothies with pineapple, coconut and orange so this is basically a spirited tropical smoothie which means you can leave out the vodka for a non-alcoholic martini!

The Pina Colada is the official drink of Puerto Rico - the home of fabulous rums - so I feel a little guilty not having any rum in it but I didn't happen to have any on hand when I shook this martini up. If you want you can use a rum instead and it will impart a slightly sweeter taste as rums are made with the by-products of sugarcane such as molasses.

If this doesn't put the Vitamin C in your cocktail nothing will - serve it up with some of my Taste of the Islands Nachos and pretend you're enjoying the late evening breeze of a tropical wind.

TROPICAL MARTINIS - The Caribbean Martini


CARIBBEAN MARTINI

Our tropical vacation week finds us still in the Caribbean with a slightly altered version of a Pina Colada. This one has rum and vodka but no coconut cream. The coconut flavor is supplied by the coconut rum.

If this doesn't remind you of white sandy beaches, gentle waves lapping at your toes and the sun warming your body as a breeze rustles your hair then it's time you took a real trip to the Caribbean.
