Cocktail(s) of The Month

Cocktail(s) of The Month – February

A classic way to begin the evening is with champagne perhaps with a blush of Pom liqueur or Cassis with two raspberries swimming in the bottom of the glass or try something different.

A Valentine Aperitif ~
A Touch of Venus

Refreshing, light, would also look nice with a strawberry on the rim.

Ingredients:

3 oz. dry white wine
1 oz. Limoncello (sweet lemon liqueur, I keep it in the freezer-yum!)
1/2 tsp. amaretto
1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
Lemon spiral, garnish

Preparation:

Add liquids to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for five seconds and strain into a large wine goblet.

Place lemon spiral garnish on top, and declare: “Love’s gentle spring doth always fresh remain.” — Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis

Chocolate Covered Raspberry

Dessert in a glass.

Ingredients:

Raspberry vodka
Vanilla vodka
Light Creme de Coco
Dark Creme de Coco
White chocolate liqueur (or cream)
Fresh raspberries
Chocolate syrup

Preparation:

Add ice to mixer. Pour raspberry vodka (2 count). Pour vanilla vodka (1 count). Add both light and dark Creme de Coco (3 count). Add a good splash of white chocolate liqueur. Add small splash of raspberry liqueur and shake.

Drizzle chocolate syrup in martini glass. Drop 1-3 fresh raspberries in glass and add more chocolate syrup. Pour mixture in glass.

Not we don’t always appreciate recipes for liquid refreshments, but can we just say that is the cutest darn graphic we have seen in a long time?!

Sending you a smile,

I love what Pink Champagne said–Is it bad to crave both? They both equally sound delicious to me! Love the first one though–I bet I could drink a few of those! Very refreshing.
It just started snowing again, so I have my work cut out for me in a few hours. Not suppose to stop until late tomorrow night. Wish I had the ingredients for your cocktails!!
XOXO

Limoncello? What a great idea to keep it in the freezer. I love that stuff–the Mister and I make a lemonade with that, vodka, and real lemonade, and when you are sipping that you do not care how hot it is!
