One of the bloggers I’ve been following for some time, and finally got to meet face to face at Blog World Expo, Average Jane, has two yummy sounding martini recipes, and they sounded too good not to share!

Tootsie Roll Martinis

1 cup creamy chocolate liqueur
1 cup Irish cream liqueur
1 cup vanilla vodka
1/2 cup clear chocolate liqueur (optional)
1/4 cup Grand Marnier

Mix together in a pitcher and add ice to chill and provide a little much-needed dilution of the alcohol.  Don’t skip the Grand Marnier – it’s the secret ingredient that makes these martinis taste like a Tootsie Roll instead of just chocolate alone.  Garnish martini glasses with actual Tootsie Rolls or chocolate syrup-coated rim.

Bomb Pop Martini

DeKuyper Island Blue Pucker
Bacardi Razz Rum
Sweet & sour mix
Grenadine

Mix equal parts of Island Blue Pucker, Bacardi Razz and sweet & sour mix.  Shake WELL with ice and pour into martini glass.  Then take 1 capful of grenadine and slowly pour down the inside of glass until it settles to the bottom.
