Think Summer with a Blue Bikini Martini!

I was trying to think of something new to try tonight. Nothing looked good to me - I know, I must have a fever! My new love is Blue Curacao....if you notice, it is in the Jamaican Paradise which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! So I looked on the good ole Internet and found one that I wanted to try.

Let me just start by saying I do not care for Gin at all. I never have. BUT I do love Peach Schnapps and Blue Curacao. So I decided to give this recipe a try and I am so glad I did! It is really good!! It is one of those I can only have one of but the one was worth it!!

I got the recipe from http://www.martinirecipe.net which has lots of fun drink recipes!

Chocolate Kiss Martini

So, today has been one of those days. You know the ones.....Kids making you nuts.....not getting half of what you want to get done actually completed.....yup...my day.....

Anyways, when I finally sat down tonight, I decided I have been neglecting my martinis lately. So of course I had to make one! Of course, I had very little ice. Story of my day. This martini is good for the day I had!

The perfect pre-Valentines Day drink. Chocolate and raspberry - Can't go wrong there! I got the idea for the drink from a website called http://www.mixology.com. I had to tweak it a little but it is really yummy!

Chocolate Kiss

1/2 oz Bailey's Irish Crème
1/4 oz Chambord
1/4 oz Chocolate Liquer - I used Godiva
