Hot Chocolate Camping Martini

Don’t tell me you don’t have hot chocolate in your stash or even a bag of ice to keep your beer…oops…koolaid cool.  This is fun and just a thing to keep the chilly evening air away.

 

  • Dash of chocolate syrup
  • 4 parts chocolate Vodka
  •  2 parts Hot chocolate
  • 1 part Irish Cream
  • 1 part half and half cream

Drizzle a small amount of chocolate syrup around inside of martini glass.  Mix all the ingredients except the hot chocolate, in a shaker filled with cracked ice.  Shake really well and strain into chilled martini glasses.

Pour the hot chocolate over the top and add some whipped cream (yes, it does come in a spray can but make sure it is real cream). Also, out of the stash of yours, garnish with a bit of shaved chocolate.  Okay, okay, tell the kids you are sorry you shaved some of their chocolate bar….in the morning, of course.

 

If the kids are still up around the campfire, make them S’mores and they will be just like the ‘big people’.  Enjoy!

Oh My, My My Martini

Okay, so the temperature is getting hotter and the breeze from the patio/deck/beach is ever so gentle. What you need now is a martini that will have you saying “Oh My, My, My”.

 

It takes:

  • 2 parts chocolate vodka
  • 2 parts White Chocolate Liqueur
  • 1 part White Creme de Cacao
  • 1 part Irish Cream
  • 1 part Raspberry Liqueur (like Chambourd)

Melt some white chocolate and rim the glasses.  Place in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate.

Pour the Vodka and Creme de Caco in a shaker filled with crushed ice and shake well. Strain into the chilled glasses. Now pour the balance of the liquids into another shaker with crushed ice and shake well.

Here comes the fun part: Invert a spoon so that it rests on the opposite side of the glass (pointy end touching the base of the glass). Now slowly strain and  pour the ingredients over the first layer. This might take a little practice.  Garnish with a few fresh Raspberries.

Anyone you care to share this with will keep saying…’Oh My, My, My”.

Note: drink responsibly.

Olivers Martini

As we will be relocating to Oliver shortly, it is only right that they should have their very own martini. Right? Let’s see if this one works with their logo. “View of Heaven, in the Okanagan”. We could call it “taste of Heaven”…..

You will need:

  • 3 parts Chocolate Vodka,
  • 2 parts Creme de Cacao
  • 2 parts Bailey’s

Pour into a shaker filled with cracked ice and strain into prepared martini glasses that have been garnished with caramel sauce in a decorative pattern.

Switch it up and use chocolate sauce.
