I have a serious THING for key lime pie, so turning that into a martini? yeah…

Is there really anymore to say? Other than this is for my Summer Cocktail Series. Cocktail # 2

Commence with the sippin’ and the porch sittin’ !!

 

Key Lime Pie Martini

1.5 oz. vanilla vodka

1 oz. key lime juice

1 tsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. Coco Lopez

0.5 oz. (1 Tbsp.) pineapple juice

1 oz. heavy cream

One drop mint green (gel) food color

 

Fill a martini glass or coupe glass with crushed ice to chill.

On a small plate mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar together.

Mix the martini per instructions* in the cocktail shaker.

Pour out the ice water from the martini glass and wipe dry.

Cut a small piece of lime and wipe around the rim of martini/coupe glass.

Dip the rim of the glass into the cracker mixture.

Strain the cocktail into the glass and serve immediately.

 

* Fill a cocktail shaker with all the ingredients then fill with ice. Shake vigourously.

Graham Cracker Rim:
