BOURBON, BLUEBERRIES & BACON COCKTAIL, OH MY!

WHEN PIGS FLY MARTINI

For National Pig Day

2 Oz. Bourbon

1 Oz. Fresh Blueberry Juice

3/4 Oz. Maple Syrup

3 Lemon Twists

Slice of Maple Candied Bacon

Fresh Blueberries

Lemon Wheel

Make the Maple Candied Bacon and (even though it's going to be hard) put aside a few slices for this cocktail. 

Chill your martini glass in the freezer.

Muddle the maple syrup, the lemon twists and the blueberry juice in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.

Fill the cocktail shaker with ice then add your bourbon and shake until ice cold.

Strain into your chilled martini glass then garnish with the maple candied bacon, fresh blueberries and the lemon wheel.

Yes, I sculpted the llittle,  pink pig with wings. Sorry, sculpting marzipan is not as easy as sculpting clay!

Yes, I also ate the freakin' bacon before I took the photo. You probably would too...

Don't like bourbon? You can make this with Bacon Infused Vodka instead!

Happy Pig Day!

NEW COCKTAIL ART!

"I look like I'm working

but I'm really thinking about

how long it is to

HAPPY HOUR!"

This design is pretty self explanatory, it came from a tweet I sent out to someone on @TheMartiniDiva.  After I sent the tweet I thought, "hey, that would make a great t-shirt" so I hopped on photoshop, designed this and put it on t-shirts and everything else I sell on my store!

HOW LONG TO HAPPY HOUR

is available on Posters, Archival Prints, Canvas Prints, Clothing, Cards & Postage, Home & Kitchen Decor, Accessories, Office Products, and Electronics Cases & Sleeves .

at The Martini Diva Boutique.

VALENTINE MARTINIS with SEX APPEAL

Warm flesh and a hot kiss,

most dangerous this is!
Quite thrilling and heady,
but try to stay steady.

Those magical charms
can leave you disarmed.
So re-bottle that genie,
and cool down with martinis.
