Still on the Martini kick.....

Let’s see…..that patio was open last night, temperature was great outside, it rained. The final hockey game was on last night, so it was slow inside as well. I always tell everyone that I can keep myself amused, no matter how slow it is….so I played mad scientist and mixed up some new Martinis.

I went with a dessert theme last night, because, well, why not? I started out with a Chocolate Volcano…so named because it tingles your tongue a little. (I’d tell you what was in it, but then I’d have to kill you) Chocolate is a food group in my world, so I guess that’s why I started there.

Then I moved on to a new version of a drink I came up with a few decades ago. Butter Pecan Ice Cream. This one could be very dangerous. Is tastes exactly like the name says, it would be very easy to gulp it down. A great option for those who would like to have a drink, but can’t stand the taste of alcohol.

Next I moved on to fruit based desserts…..came up with Lemon Meringue Pie, just a little bit tart, with a great lemon flavor, and a hint of sweetness from the meringue. Not into lemon? Then how about Cherry cheesecake? (I’m gonna keep going here, I’ve got a lot of bottles to play with)

Cheesecake not your bag? Then try the simple flavors of Strawberries and Cream….or perhaps Blueberry Cobbler is more to your liking…..okay, not interested in fruit? Try a sip of Tiramisu, or from the Box of Chocolates Collection, a Chocolate Raspberry Cream…or a Chocolate Turtle.

Anyways, back to more experimentation tonight…I’m never at a shortage for guinea pigs, as the staff is always to wiling to sample all the concoctions. Strictly in the interest of research and development, of course.

  1. Okay TBWFH, you have to stop the madness. In the name of all things holy regarding alcohol consumption, please stop with the dessert-flavored drinks. You're a professional and you have an obligation to save the masses with their teenager kool-aid tastes from themselves (or at least send them to Dairy Queen if they really want a shake or slurpee).
