This post is inspired by a delicious martini that a friend had told me about and I just had to find the recipe! Its really colorful and fun to drink, every sip has pop rocks exploding in your mouth!
sorry for the TERRIBLE photo...sheesh...
Step One:
Get your ingredients!
Blue Curacao
Vodka
Cranberry Juice
Martini shaker
chilled martini glass
Step Two:
Rim martini glass! I just wet the rim with water but you could cut a wedge of lime and rub that around the rim. Pour the Pop Rocks onto a plate and rub the top of the glass in it.
Step 3:
Mix it up! I used one ounce cranberry juice to one ounce vodka and I found this a little strong. Maybe 1 1/2 ounce cranberry juice to 1 ounce vodka would be better! Put these into a martini shaker with ice and shake shake shake! Pour mixture into the rimmed glass. Next pour the blue liqueur into the center of the mixture very slowly (I used about an ounce of this as well). There should be two distinct layers here.
two distinct layers :)
Now this could be enough for some people but I thought it to be too strong still so I added a little 7Up to the glass and it was delicious! Feel free to garnish with candy (jelly beans, suckers etc). Now go enjoy your PERFECT ladies night drink! Enjoy these in moderation however...all the sugar sure gives a girl a headache the next morning if she isn't careful! ;)
