The YELLOW CAKE MARTINI

It's hard to tell from the ingredients but this martini really does taste like a classic yellow cake. It's very sweet and the vanilla tones really bring home the experience. This one goes down way too easy so watch yourself!

I had to add the fun cake decorating sprinkles - I like my cakes decorated! It also puts a touch of celebration to this Yellow Cake Martini experience, making it perfect for birthday party.

Enjoy and Happy Whatever!

PUMPKIN PIE MARTINI - Pumpkin Cocktail

This cocktail will surprise you, it did me. I wanted to create a drink with the classic flavors of the holidays and the one thing I looked forward to most at the holidays was my Mom's pumpkin pie. I waited all year for that pumpkin pie. Thankfully, pumpkin was a holiday food flavor I could work with.

My real miracle came when Hiram Walker came out with their Pumpkin Spice Liqueur way back in 2007. Though the liqueur by itself smells and tastes a bit like butterscotch, when mixed with the right balance of other ingredients I wound up with almost a perfect liquid version of my Mom's pumpkin pie.

Later, when Hiram Walker's Pumpkin Spice became harder to find, I would venture into making my own Pumpkin Liqueur.

People are a bit leery of the idea when I offer them one but the minute they take the first sip they are converted to Pumpkin Pie Martini fans. If you love pumpkin pie, you'll love this martini too.

PEACH PIE MARTINI Cocktail Recipe

Have your dessert first, make this Peach Pie Martini for happy hour. The essence of a slice of peach pie lies in the peach vodka, peach juice and the sweet pie crust garnish. A little vanilla vodka and some half & half and you have peach pie in a glass.

Maybe this cocktail should have been called the Peach Pie Ala Mode Martini because the half & half brings in the creamy element that ice cream would bring to a piece of peach pie, but that was getting a bit cumbersome for a drink name. Don't like pie ala mode? Leave out the half & half.

LEMON MERINGUE PIE MARTINI - Lemoncello Martini

 

Get my
The LEMON MERINGUE PIE MARTINI Recipe

This Lemon Martini uses Limoncello - like the Lemon Cream Pie Martini - but it's a meringue pie martini so there are egg whites* in it to give the martini that lovely fluffy meringue like texture. I swear this tastes just like a lemon meringue pie, right down to the perfect sweet-tart tanginess.

If you miss the pie crust just bake one of those ready-mades up, crush it up with some sugar and rim the glass with that! If you don't like the frothiness that a blender gives just shake the ingredients up in a martini shaker for a smoother experience!

I love chocolate and lemon together so sometimes I rim the glass in finely shaved dark chocolate. It tastes like my Choco-Lemon Pie.

BLUEBERRY PIE MARTINI - Pie Martinis

Get The Recipe for the
BLUEBERRY PIE MARTINI HERE

Like blueberries? You're going to love this martini then - it's ripe with fresh blueberry juice and gets a little kick from blueberry and vanilla vodka and a little raspberry liqueur. When I bake a blueberry pie I always use a little lemon juice to brighten up the flavors and the sweet and sour bring that element to play. A little bit of cream makes it pie a la mode!

The pie crust rim ties it all together and gives you a true blueberry pie experience in a martini glass! And don't forget all those anti-oxidants from the fresh blueberry juice!
