CHOCOLATE CARAMEL MARTINI


You really need a hit of rich caramel and chocolate but you also want a cocktail? Don't reach for a candy bar, reach for a cocktail shaker! This Chocolate Caramel Martini is a liquid candy bar, loaded with chocolate and full of rich, buttery caramel flavor but it has the added benefit of having booze.

The fun part of this cocktail is the chocolate syrup swirl inside the bowl of the glass.  It not only looks pretty but it slowly adds a little more chocolate to each sip.

1 Oz Half & Half

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MARTINIS - Shillelagh Martini


My final St. Patrick's Martini is the Shillelagh Martini, a naturally green gin martini thanks to the Blue Curacao and orange juice mixers.  If this doesn't put the Irish in your day you might just need to get pinched!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MARTINIS - Scarlett O'Hara Martini




The SCARLETT O'HARA MARTINI
The Whiskey Sour gets a touch of Tara

Think of the color of Scarlett's eyes, add a little whiskey for her spirit, a little sugar for her charm and some lime for her tart tongue and you have the Scarlett O'Hara Martini. I've taken a whiskey sour and given it a little bit of Ireland, the Old South and Hollywood in one glass.

This martini is dedicated to the most famous Irish movie character ever to grace the silver screen and my favorite movie heroine, Scarlett O'Hara.  I was practically weaned on Gone With the Wind and it is still my favorite movie of all time, so I can't let St. Patrick's Day go by without a nod to this infamous Irish Southern Belle.

It goes without saying that the Tara's Theme, also known as My Own True Love, is one of my favorite songs of all time. Most of you are probably familiar with this iconic song, but how many of you knew that this song, originally written by Max Steiner, had lyrics?  Fiddle Dee Dee - you don't know nothin' bout no lyrics?? Well, sing these to the theme below:

My own true love
My own true love
At last Ive found you
My own true love

No lips but yours
No arms but yours
Will ever lead me
Through Heavens doors

I roamed the Earth
In search of this
I knew Id know you
Know you by your kiss

And by your kiss
You've shown true love
I'm yours forever
My own true love
My own true love

Admittedly, the lyrics are not on the same level as the music itself but after a few Scarlett O'Hara martinis, frankly, my dear, you probably won't give a damn!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MARTINIS - Nutty Irishman Martini


The NUTTY IRISHMAN
A favorite Irish Cocktail lands in a martini glass.

If you're fond of Frangelico and Bailey's you'll love this martini.  It's very sweet, almost a dessert cocktail with a creamy texture from the Bailey's and the cream and a nuttiness from the Frangelico.  It's quite rich but you can use either half & half or milk in place of the cream for a little less guilt on St. Patrick's Day!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MARTINIS - Shamrock Martini


The Midori
SHAMROCK MARTINI

If you're not into green beer or Irish whiskey, why not give my Midori Shamrock Martini a try?  It's green like the green beer but this is naturally green from the Midori melon liqueur.  The melon flavor is enhanced by using melon vodka as well so you get a double rainbow of goodness for your St. Patrick's Day cocktail!

It is better to spend money like there's no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there's no money!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MARTINIS - Irish Kiss Martini


The IRISH KISS MARTINI

You might think you're not a whiskey drinker but the Irish Kiss Martini might just change your mind.  Combined with a chocolate and a mint liqueur whiskey gets a nice little St. Patrick's Day makeover and could make you a whiskey lover.  Green and white sprinkles (jimmies) on the rim lend a festive lucky rim and add a bit of sweetness as you sip.
