We started out with the normal Vodka & Tonics as we snacked on some sushi I picked up on the way home, as well as some pita chips & hummus. But as the night was drawing to a close we had a new dessert cocktail I threw together, to go with the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies I made.
Tammy enjoying what I am calling the Choco-Coco Martini. Recipe below.
Now, I am taking a BIG RISK & may get disqualified from the Martini Party competition over at Molly's, who once told me to "slowly step away from the Stirrings" martini mixes but I was in the mood for something different & picked up something on the fly.
I find most chocolate martinis to be too sweet so I picked up some coconut water (in the mixed drinks aisle) & used it with the chocolate martini mix. The result: very enjoyable, one is perfect & not overly sweet. Use of coconut or another flavoring you like was ideal!!!
CHOCO-COCO MARTINI
1 part Grey Goose Vodka
1 part Stirrings Chocolate Martini Mix
1 part Coconut Water (comes in a can)
Mix all in a cocktail shaker over ice. Strain and fill your martini glass. Enjoy, while talking about how things will get better, how I'll be right here for you, how you will be strong & get through, & how much I love you !!! Oh sorry............this one's for you Tammy!!!!
I actually think the Stirrings chocolate martinis are pretty good, so I won't shout at you too much, especially as you used the "good" vodka! But seriously, a chocolate martini can only be made with Godiva liqueur. End.of.story.!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I come over for one of your pep talks?
ReplyDeleteI've never ever made a martini of any kind. I thought it would be much harder.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Tammy!
You need to drink these while reading Twilight.
ReplyDeleteYes, hop on our bandwagon--it's totally worth the ride, I promise!
I have no clue what a Stirrings is but chocolate anything sounds good to me, LOL!!!
