White Chocolate Martini

“PLEASE EAT MORE CHOCOLATE.  AND PLEASE LISTEN TO MORE COLDPLAY.”  Chris Martin

White Chocolate Martini | From My Sweet Heart

Sometimes I like to drink my chocolate, too!  For this month’s Chocolate Party, we were asked to pair chocolate with…..chocolate!  I hope Roxana, at Roxana’s Home Baking, and the founder of this fabulous group will let me slide this month as I pair two kinds of chocolate liqueur and add dark and white chocolate as the garnish.

For 1 White Chocolate Martini:

  • 1 ounce of vanilla vodka
  • 1 1/2 ounces of Godiva white chocolate liqueur
  • 1/2 ounce of creme de cacao
  • 1 ounce of cream

Place the alcohol into a cocktail shaker with ice.  Shake until mixed and cold.  Add the cream to the cocktail shaker and gently swirl.  Pour into a martini glass and garnish with shaved dark chocolate and white chocolate swirls.

I always pair my cocktail posts with a piece of my favorite music.  As you can see from the quote, I was inspired by Chris Martin of Coldplay.  And I would love to share my favorite song by them, Us Against The World.

 

 

Check out what else took place at The Chocolate Party this month.  And EAT MORE CHOCOLATE!



Key Lime Pie Martini

Key Lime Pie Martini | From My Sweet Heart

  • 2 ounces of vanilla vodka
  • 1 ounce of coconut rum
  • 1 ounce of key lime juice
  • 1 ounce of heavy cream

Fill your cocktail shaker 2/3 way with ice cubes.  Add all ingredients and shake well.  Pour into a martini glass.  Garnish with a lime twist or wedge and finely crushed graham crackers ( or rim the glass with crushed grahams mixed with sugar).  

Today I was rescued!  So I’d like to make a toast to my son, Jeff, who came to my aid.  But also to the really kind gentleman from AAA who replaced my car battery in the middle of an unshaded parking lot at high noon in 103° heat!!!

Cheers everyone and TGIF!!!  Enjoy this lovely cocktail while listening to a favorite song of mine by TRAIN.  It just seemed appropriate for my day!
