White Chocolate Martini Recipe - White Chocolate Liqueur, Amaretto, Banana Liqueur, and Cream.


	White Chocolate Martini Recipe Amaretto added for an Italian twist This white chocolate martini recipe was a pleasant surprise. I was visiting my sister-in-law and we went to a fun little bar/restaraunt on a creek in Cleveland, Ohio. I must admit, I have never been a fan of white chocolate anything. I saw this had amaretto in it - and I thought I would try it and see if it was worth posting. It was. BUT one caveat... - I got too busy talking to ask the bartender what ratio he used. So I went home and experimented. The amaretto takes this boring normalness of this martini and gives it an Italian kick. YAY! I found it takes the harshness of the vodka away and adds some depth. The banana liqueur is totally optional. When I saw it as an ingredient on the menu, I thought, "hmmm, interesting". AND I always have a motto. While eating out, only order items you wouldn't make at home. And I can definitely say - I never have used banana liqueur. Your choice though. Skip it. Or try it. The other ingredients are the normal ones used in a white chocolate martini recipe. Ok well, the amaretto isn't, but you get my drift. The white chocolate, vodka and cream are the norm. So if ya wanna experiment a bit with Italian drinks - see my recipes below. And just keep the amaretto in this guy! I was pleasantly surprised with this! Got questions?

Lisa White Chocolate Martini Recipe YIELD: 1 Serving Ingredients: * 1/2 oz creme de bananas (optional - see below) * 1/2 oz white creme de cacao (see below) * 1 oz amaretto * 1/2 oz vodka * 1 oz heavy cream Procedure * Mix * Shake * Pour in chilled glass What is amaretto? An Italian liqueur. It's more than just almonds, but that is the general way to describe it. It's a sweet almond tasting liqueur. Banana liqueur or creme de bananas? You are going to have real cream in this any way - so IF you get creme de bananas it's just another cream whammy. Personally I get the banana liqueur because I can do more with it if I want a non-creamy drink later. White chocolate Liqueur or white creme de cacao? Again, I want versatility with my liquor - so I DON'T get the white creme de cacao. I get a white chocolate liqueur. This will allow me to make other drinks! What kind of vodka? Make sure it's NON flavored. But my personal choice is Finlandia. BUT don't get hung up on it. Experiment on your drinks and find your own personal favorite! Start out making cocktails with more inespensive vodka - but NOT crap vodka. Talk with your liquor store - tell them you want a vodka, but not crap and NOT expensive. They want your business so they will work with you. NOTE: As I mentioned above this white chocolate martini recipe takes an Italian twist with the amaretto. And the banana was just what I had at the restraint. You choose. You enjoy. This is a lovely drink. Experiment away! Back to the top of the white chocolate martini recipe.

Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something. When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest. So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook. I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style. I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.
