Wedding Cake Martini - Tastes like a cake!


	Wedding Cake Martini "Amaretto, vodka, and oranges" The wedding cake martini tastes like a liquid wedding cake. Well, a good wedding cake - not a cheap pasty grainy fake type bakery cake. Amaretto is the main flavoring. And if you top this off with cream you really get that cake-in-a-cup flavor. The vodka perfects this! It adds that extra zing! (Personally, I could use a tad more vodka than what I put in the recipe.) This is a VERY sweet martini. I can't drink it before dinner. It's more of an after dinner martini in my book. A few creative ideas for some substitutions are in the section below. Plus a few tips. Wedding Cake Martini YIELD: 1 Serving Ingredients: * 3 ounces amaretto * 1/2 ounce vodka * 1 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice Procedure * Uh, shake, shake, shake, and then serve! * OPTIONAL: Float a little cream on top if you wish! (I prefer this - really tastes like a cake) Other ideas for the orange juice? The original recipe I saw for this calls for pineapple juice. And I've seen one variation use Malibu Rum. I'm one for not going out to the store for one or two things. So - I had oranges and I squeezed them. I had Malibu also, but I wanted ONE thing non-alcholic in the drink. TIP: To strain the orange pulp - I pour the orange juice through a coffee filter. Wondering what amaretto is? It's a liqueur made from a base of apricot or almond pits, or sometimes both. It tastes like real sweet almonds. Want a cream float on top? I've seen variations of this where you can put a tablespoon of cream to float on top. DO this AFTER you have shaken and poured. Too sweet? Pull back the amaretto. OR, if you're like me - add a tad more vodka, just to get that nice little burn. Back to the top of the wedding cake martini.

Labor Day is coming up. And so is my husband's birthday. For me it's just another reason to cook more desserts! Matter of fact, we have vacation and are on the list to cook dessert for two night ( and that's for 15 people!) Oh darn. More dessert. (Hee hee hee) As a kid my health conscience mother would tell me, "white sugar will kill you". And my Italian grandma would quietely tell me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." Many of these recipes are from my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. She was my hero in everything. Other recipes came from her friends. And the remainder I've concocted by adapting her cooking style. Lisa Would you like to share this page? You know how to do it! Thanks for sharing the sugar love! Contact Me Privacy Policy About
