Lemon Chiffon Cake Martini

I like to think of this cocktail as a drinkable lemon drop poke cake because that's exactly what it tastes like, a yellow cake infused with a Lemon Drop Martini. The whole key is, of course, the cake vodka, you can't substitute that ingredient because it tastes and smells just like yellow cake batter.

You also want to use a very good brand of Limoncello or make your own, and fresh lemon juice is a must. I don't want to hear any complaints if you tried making this cocktail with one of those lemon shaped squeeze bottles of concentrated lemon drek. (In fact, if you have one of those in your house we can't be friends.)

STRAWBERRY MARTINIS for CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRY DAY

Spring is when all those big, juicy California strawberries start showing up in our local farmer's markets & grocers.  I'm especially fond of the giant strawberries that grow around Watsonville and in central California.  Strawberries the size of a child's fist with long stems that are perfect for dipping in chocolate or for making a cocktail!

Strawberries have many health benefits that are great for a body coming out of a long winter.  My mom used to say that they were great for "cleaning out the blood" and I guess that wasn't so far off the truth as a study from the Harvard Medical School found that strawberries may offer heart disease protection!

All I know is they taste great!  Whether dipped in chocolate, eaten as is, made into desserts or turned into the star of a delicious Strawberry Cocktail!

To celebrate California Strawberry Day

here are a few of my favorite

MARTINIS for the 1st DAY OF SPRING & the VERNAL EQUINOX!

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING

Yes, I know it doesn't seem like it in a lot of the U.S. right now (in fact, here in Arizona it's not getting over 60 when it's usually around 75 - 85!), but it really is the first day of Spring!  The astronomical spring begins today and ends Tuesday, June 19th at midnight.

Also known as the Vernal Equinox, the first day of Spring is equal parts day and night! The word equinox is derived from the Latin word equinoxium "equality of night (and day)".  The spring and fall equinoxes are the only dates with equal daylight and dark as the Sun crosses the celestial equator.

What? A Corned Beef Cocktail??

NO! I did NOT go there, but Top Chef favorite Richard Blais did a few years ago! Taking a dash of corned beef drippings and a splash of cabbage juice, Blais turned a Whiskey Collins into a unique St.Patrick's Day tipple.

 With a little bit of leprechaun humor and a bit of Blarney - not to mention a bit of Blais' trademark molecular gastronomy - here is his CORNED BEEF COLLINS.
