I recently returned from a week of events at the fabulous and oh-so-exclusive Ocean Reef Club...with a serious case of Key Lime Fever!
Key lime pie is the official dessert of the Florida Keys and one of America's best-loved regional dishes. You can find hundreds of variations in restaurants and thousands more in kitchens around the country. Although there are numerous versions to choose from, the perfect Key lime pie recipe is elusive. Key lime pie experts argue incessantly about the ideal way to achieve that wonderful balance of sweet and sour flavors. I don't know many people who would argue over the deliciousness factor of the HIP Key Lime Pie Martini!
Jeffrey's Key Lime Pie Martini
Graham cracker crumbs & some raw sugar, for rimming the glass
2 lime wedges
3 ounces of 360 Madagascar Vanilla Vodka
2 ounces KeKe Beach Key Lime Liqueur
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Ice cubes
Directions
Pour the smashed graham cracker crumbs and raw sugar in a shallow dish. Rub a lime wedge around the edge of a martini glass and roll the edge in the graham cracker crumbs. Chill the glass for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Combine the vanilla vodka, key lime liqueur, pineapple juice, and cream in a shaker. Fill the shaker half full with ice and shake until well blended. Pour into prepared martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
Be sure to send me an email, or better yet, text me with a pix of you and your friends enjoying a Key Lime Pie Martini!
