#DOTW: Winter Wonderland Martini

Yes, the snow stuck, everything is white (with patches of brown, let’s face it), I love me some winter. So we’re having a Winter Wonderland Martini to commemorate. It looks like a ski slope, or your backyard after a snow storm, but the coconut flavor reminds you of the summer vacation that hopefully Santa is going to stick into your stocking!

Cheers!

What you’ll need:

  • 1 oz Stoli Vanil (or quality vanilla vodka of your choice)
  • 1 oz Crème de Cacao (clear)
  • 1 oz cream of coconut ( like Coco Lopez)
  • 1 oz milk or cream\

Combine all ingredients and shake vigorously (to create a foamy top) with ice in a shaker. Rim glass with powdered sugar and serve ice cold! Happy Holidays!!

Hello there, fellow foodies! My name is Erica, I was born and raised in Germany, and moved to the US, New York City to be exact, in July of 1987. I have worked most of my time here in the Big Apple as a bartender, but my true love is food. I cook just about every day, I search for good food everywhere, and pretty much always find it. I don't consider myself a food critic, I don't have the culinary background for that kind of expertise. I do however know good food, good chefs and good restaurants. I report back about my culinary adventures, and I choose to leave out my unsatisfactory experiences. We have enough negativity in our daily lives, I don't want to add to that. All the recipes in my FROM MY KITCHEN and DOTW blogs are cooked and prepared by me. All pictures are taken by me. I don't always eat everything you see in my pictures, but you bet your buns, I do try everything. Last but not least, you should know that I am a huge Top Chef fan. I have never missed an episode of the Bravo TV show. I have at this point visited almost 20 restaurants run by Top Chef contestants, and I'm continuously impressed by their skill, drive and passion. So I will continue to seek them out, and I hope you join me in my journey!
