Creamy Caramel Martini

Creamy Caramel Martini

4 shots out of 5

Did you know that April 5th is National Caramel Day?  There's yet another reason to enjoy this Creamy Caramel Martini!

Like we need a reason?  Right?

I may just be one of the happiest people I know today!  

First off it's Friday (that speaks for itself).  

Second, I went to the doctor today to find out if the 4 week long soar throat I've had is strep or not.......turns out it's not and all I have is an irritated airway!  

Great news!  

I think for those two reasons alone, I deserve a cocktail.....and so do you!

I gave tonight's OK, totally this afternoon's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  

The 3:1 ratio of vodka to schnapps kind of scared me, but I went through with it anyways.  

I have this bottle of Kissed Caramel Vodka and I need to try different cocktails with it so I went to the Smirnoff site and found today's here.  

Glad I did too.  

I think the caramel at the bottom of this glass adds to it's carameleyness (yes another "Totally Jen made up word"), but doesn't over power it.  

I think this would be a cocktail that I would drink one.......two at the most of (but would probably regret asking for the 2nd half way through).  

If you enjoy caramel, I think you'll enjoy this cocktail!

Here is the recipe for a Creamy Caramel Martini:

• 1 1/2 oz kissed caramel vodka
• 1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps
• caramel

In a martini glass, squeeze your liquid caramel into the bottom of your glass (as much as you'd like).  In a shaker, add ice and your vodka and butterscotch schnapps.  Shake and strain your cocktail into your martini glass.

Here's to a nice warm Friday!  The sun is out and I have a cocktail in my hand, what could be better?

Cheers!!
