Cocktail of the Week!

We have a great new cocktail to share with you this week . . . and when I say ‘we’ I mean me and my BFF Cheryl :-)

It was Cheryl that found this one (recommended by a friend) and she made it for me to try just after Christmas. We had one on New Years Eve too . . . I give you

Key Lime Pie Martini!

I was waiting for Cheryl to send me the picture of ours she took, but she’s had a super busy week, so I grabbed this one off the web! I don’t know the full recipe to this (I’ll get it later from Cheryl) but we actually tried it a few ways, one combo being equal parts of Ke Ke Beach Key Lime Liqueur, vanilla vodka and 1/2 + 1/2 cream. What made this cocktail ‘over the top’ good (imo) was the graham cracker crust around the edge! Cheryl dipped our glasses in key lime juice then in to crushed crumbs. As you went to take your first sip, oh my gosh the smell of the lime and graham crackers really made you feel like you were just about to take a bite of Key Lime Pie – it was AMAZINGLY GOOD!

Here’s a recipe I found online if you’d like to try it this weekend. I’ve never heard of Ke Ke Beach Key Lime Cream Liqueur, but you should be able to find it easily at your local liquor store. Give it a try this weekend – such a fun drink. I think we’ll be having another tonight ;-)

Happy Weekend.

Ok the recipe is 1oz Licor 43
1oz Rose's Lime Juice
1oz heavy cream
1oz Keke's Key Lime Cream
...2oz Stoli Vanilla Vodka
Place mixture in shaker with lots of ice. Rim glass with key lime juice and graham cracker crumbs. Delish I dream of them. If you are really good you will put a squirt of whip cream on the top. LOVE IT!!!!
