VALENTINE MARTINIS - TARTINI from Sex and The City


 That Tramp Stole My Man
TARTINI

Today's Valentine Martini is the Tartini, a cocktail that first made it's appearance on episode 4 of season 2 of Sex and the City, "They Shoot Single People, Dont' They?"  That original recipe calls for Cranberry Vodka making the cocktail a very close approximation of a Cape Cod, however you'll find a lot of bars have replaced that with today's more popular Raspberry Vodka, which is my preferred version.

Like the episode, this martini is all about being a single woman in a couple's world and the perils therein - including the competition!

VALENTINE MARTINIS - Gangsta of Love Martini



 The GANGSTA of LOVE MARTINI
Beware of Flying Babies with Arrows!

Valentine's Day. The day of romance that will live in infamy. This is the day the merchandisers have made unholy. It is the day they have exploited to sell product. It is the day of libidinous lovers and trembling twosomes. It is also the day that can make you feel unloved, unwanted and undesired if you are not half of a couple.

IT'S BRANDY ALEXANDER DAY!


Another good reason to get out the martini glass & cocktail shaker

 Yes, there really is a national holiday set aside for the Brandy Alexander!

Did you know the Brandy Alexander made an appearance on the pilot episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show?  It was also featured in the movie The Days of Wine & Roses where Jack Lemmon buys Lee Remick the drink because she loves chocolate but doesn't like the taste of alcohol.

Brandy Alexanders are smooth, delicious and taste like a chocolate shake so they can be quite a dangerous cocktail. Like Feist says in the album The Reminder Brandy Alexander, "goes down easy" and "always gets me into trouble".
 
Here's a fun recipe for Brandy Alexander Brownies to go with your Brandy Alexander Martini.
