HOW TO MAKE
GOOD & PLENTY LIQUEUR:
You can make some pretty decent licorice liqueur by infusing your favorite vodka with Good & Plenty candy as well!  Simply drop a cup of the candy in with 750 ml. of good vodka and allow them to get good and plenty happy with each other for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

The longer you allow the actual licorice under the candy shell to dissolve in the vodka, the more your liqueur will taste like licorice. I like to add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of those pink and white candy shells.

Strain the end result through a triple layer of cheesecloth lined metal mesh strainer, bottle and enjoy.

Have a Good day with Plenty of cocktail fun.

National Good & Plenty Day is October 24th.

Boston Cream Pie Martini Cocktail Recipe

BOSTON CREAM PIE MARTINI Cocktail Recipe

Technically this isn't really a pie martini - it's a cake martini, but it has pie in the name so I'm calling it a pie cocktail. The point is moot though because I'm posting a cocktail recipe which isn't really pie either!

Why is it called pie and not cake? Because the colonists who had an early version of the recipe didn't have cake tins, they only had pie tins.

Like it's namesake, the Boston Cream Pie Martini is a delightful combination of rich vanilla and creamy chocolate. The cake vodka really does bring in the flavor of a yellow cake batter and it also hints at the custard filling. The white creme de cacao brings in the chocolate ganache topping and I added a bit of espresso because coffee punches up the chocolate.

The Boston Cream Pie is the official state dessert of Massachusetts which is fitting since this dessert was created in Boston at the Parker House Hotel by Chef M. Sanzian.

The Boston Cream Pie is one of my favorite desserts. My Mom didn't make a lot of desserts but this was one she did - usually once a week - and it is still one that I gravitate to for comfort food. Having it in an adult version with a little bit of alcohol just makes it that much more comfortable.
