I'm a Snickerbar Addict Martini

It started with the blog where I asked readers for questions. Mimi from Living in France and I were emailing each other and the subject of snickerbar martinis came up. So I decided to experiment and concoct one.  [note my url]

 Cathy at Antsy Pants does a Booze Day on Tuesdays and is going to review the recipe at a later date. She is an expert on all things boozey..

I have spent a few days off experimenting on what was the best combination of libations.. hey it's a tough job but someone has to do it. [side affects prevented me from posting this earlier.. whatever]

I bought, Belvedre Vodka, Frangelico, Ameretto DeSarono, Gadiva Chocolate Liqueur and Bailey's Caramel Liqueur. Yes a bit pricey but what is money for the perfect martini. The shot glass was a NYC purchase..that M&M store is amazing.

The first attempt included the Bailey's, Ameretto, Godiva and vodka. I put a shot glass of each into a shaker with ice and......shook.  I poured it into a martini glass rimmed with... now stay with me here.....nuts. Yes it was my brilliant older daughters idea to rim the glass with fine ground peanuts. I ground them to the consistancy of sea salt. It was inspiring as it is a delicious addition. Her other inspiration was to use Bailey's Caramel. Remember what is in a Snickerbar? [sorry the only Snickerbar I had was a bite size from Easter, where's the The Bewildered Brit when you need him]

At the same time I made the same drink substituting the Ameretto for the Frangelico. This combination I preferred... Frangelico because it has a nuttier taste than Ameretto. The experimentation continued and my final favorite was.....

1 shot Bailey's Caramel
1 shot Godiva Chocolate
1 shot Frangelico
1 shot vodka [or a little more, I like the boozey taste]
a squirt [technical term btw] chocolate sauce
a squirt of caramel sauce

Put all ingredients in a shaker with ice and .... shake. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with nuts. Another inspiration was to use chocolate sauce on the rim to adhere the nuts.

Only one glass was harmed in the making of this drink. As you can see I made a feeble attempt to look arty by draping the stove with a sheet [wrinkled even] and I caught the sheet at one point and pulled it and one glass [full] to the floor.
