CARROT CAKE MARTINI RECIPE

CARROT CAKE MARTINI RECIPE

Don't wrinkle your little bunny nose at carrot juice in a cocktail!
Carrots are very sweet and when you add some lovely cake vodka and the cream cheese frosting rim you could probably turn Bugs Bunny into a boozer!

This makes a very nice dessert cocktail and it's a lot easier and cheaper than making a carrot cake.


The 
CARROT CAKE
MARTINI

INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 Oz. Cake Vodka
2 Oz. Fresh Carrot Juice
3 Dashes Cinnamon Bitters

Garnish: Honey Sweetened Cream Cheese Rim, Baby Carrot, Raisins

Tools: Cocktail Shaker

DIRECTIONS
Mix a teaspoon of honey with a tablespoon of cream cheese then pipe this on the rim of your cocktail glass. Chill glass in freezer.
Add the ingredients to an ice filled cocktail shaker, shake until chilled then strain into the chilled glass.
Garnish with a small baby carrot and a few raisins and serve.

The Heavenly Hash Martini Cocktail Recipe


You may think of Heavenly Hash as an ice cream flavor, but it started out as a candy confection. Originally created by a New Orleans department store to pass out to shoppers on Easter, the recipe was acquired by Elmer’s Candy Corp which launched it into large scale production in 1923. To this day a Heavenly Hash candy egg still remains a Louisiana Easter tradition.

Inspired by that iconic Heavenly Hash Egg, this cocktail recipe has the traditional marshmallows, nut and chocolate flavors then adds booze to that. 

How heavenly is that?

Banana Cheesecake Pudding Martini Recipe


RECIPE FOR MY
BANANA CHEESECAKE PUDDING MARTINI

Ingredients
1 Package of Sugar Free Jell-O Cheesecake Pudding Mix
2 Cups of 1% or Fat Free Milk
2 Bananas
1 Cup of Vanilla Wafers
1 Cup of Animal Crackers
1/2 Cup Crushed Pecans (or Walnuts)
1/3 Cup Melted Butter

Equipment
2 Large Mixing Bowls
Blender
1 Pie Pan or Baking Dish
Electric Mixer
2 Large Martini Glasses

Crush the vanilla wafers, animal crackers and nuts in a blender to a fine consistency.  Mix these together with the melted butter in a bowl then press tightly into an even layer in the pie pan or baking dish.  Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until golden brown at the edges. Allow to cool.

Prepare the pudding mix per the package instructions and place in the refrigerator to set.

Once your pudding is set and your "crust" has cooled, grab out your martini glasses and slice in 1/2 of the banana into the bottom of the glass, then layer in some of the pudding, then crumble in some of the cookie crust, then repeat.  Save a few banana slices for the top.  Add your whipped cream, sprinkle on a bit more of the crushed cookie crust for garnish and top off with the remaining few slices of bananas.

Makes 2 generous Banana Cheesecake Pudding Martinis!

Try this as a Tropical Pudding Martini by substituting 1 cup of the milk with 1/2 a cup of coconut milk and 1/2 a cup of pineapple juice and add some toasted coconut to the cookie layers!  There's a ton of different combinations you can use;  think Black Forest with chocolate pudding and cherry pie filling or Chocolate lemon with lemon pie filling and chocolate cake - the possibilities are endless!
