OSCAR PARTY MARTINIS - Oscar Fans Martini

Overture, curtains, lights,
This is it, the night of nights
No more rehearsing and nursing a part
We know every part by heart
Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, you'll hit the heights
And oh what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it
Tonight what heights we'll hit
On with the show this is it!

The Oscar Fans Martini has everything you need to feel like a celebrity yourself while you watch all the stars cross the Red Carpet to the ceremony. There's chocolate to raise up your endorphins, caffeine to keep you awake during the long speeches, some champagne to celebrate your favorite winners and a bit of bling to give your night that Hollywood panache!

Ah, tequila and fruits - sounds like a Hollywood style cocktail to me! Seriously, The Red Carpet Martini is really perfect if you favor tequila over vodka or gin. The edible metallic flakes add the necessary bling for the Red Carpet!

Just make sure you're using edible metallic flakes, you can find them online or at gourmet food stores. Then grab a comfy couch, plop yourself down with your Red Carpet Martinis and enjoy the show.

Like classic black and white movies that have been colorized, The Hollywood Martini is a classic martini that has been flavorized! A little orange flavored liqueur adds bit of LaLaLand Sun and a splash of champagne adds the bling. The garnish of real gold is a nod to the famous Oscar statue!

Serve up with some Oscar night snacks being posted this week at The Diva of Tiny Foods and have fun watching the ever so gorgeous Hugh Jackman host this year.

By the way, did you know that Hugh Jackman's son is named OSCAR?

LAST VALENTINE MARTINI - Chocolate and Raspberry Martini called Cupid's Kiss

 
CUPID'S KISS MARTINI is a raspberry and chocolate flavored martini and chocolate is always a necessity on Valentine's Day! Plus I love the pink and white sprinkles on the rim.

VALENTINE'S DAY MARTINIS - Sex on the Beach Gets Some Love

The Sex on Valentine's Day Martini is a variation of the Sex on the Beach Cocktail dressed up for February 14th. The cranberry juice is replaced here with Chambord, a raspberry liqueur, which results in a sweeter, less tart cocktail.

The use of cute retro Conversation Heart candies for the garnish give this martini a fun Valentine look. The candies will dissolve slowly and the last sip will be a sugar rush with a little crunch.

VALENTINE'S DAY MARTINIS - A Lonely Heart Martini

The Desperate Valentine Martini is a cocktail for those of us without that 'special someone' to be our Valentine on February 14th. It's made with 3 vodkas AND coconut rum to help numb the lonely hearts of those alone on the most romantic day of the year.

It's really delicious - dangerously so! So only one of these and no driving anywhere! If you're so lonely you have two then don't even walk anywhere! Trust me, these go down way too easy.

For the lonely but brave out there I suggest a little anti-Valentine party to cheer yourself up too. First, click over to the Diva of Tiny Foods today and grab my recipe for Chocolate Fondue - chocolate is proven to bring your spirits up! Then get yourself a handful of darts, a nice big picture of that chubby little Gangsta of Love - Cupid - and play a little game of Valentine Voodoo on that fat little fertility fraud!

Warning - put the cat away before you start throwing darts if you've already had one of the Desperate Valentine Martinis.
