Passionate Potions
Every once in awhile it's fun to sip on something sexy. Here's one of my favorites! Pair this with "Grilled Shrimp wrapped in Procscuitto" to start off a night to remember....
Mangopolitan
1/2 cup mango juice
1/2 cup cranberry vodka
1/4 cup simple syrup (Bring 1/2 water, 1/2 sugar to a boil. Then take off heat.)
Juice of one lime
Slice of mango
In a martini pitcher filled with ice add all the ingredients, except the slices of mango. Stir to blend and chill. Pour into 4 martini glasses and garnish with mango slice. Serves 4.
Mutual Orgasm
How can this NOT be on any list of favie love potions! LOL!
2 oz almond liqueur
1 oz creme de cacao
1 oz. vodka
2 oz. half-and-half
Pour ingredients into a pint glass half-filled with ice cubes. Serves 1.
Chocolate Martini
If you love chocolate you must try this drink! Use Godiva chocolate liqueur or clear creme de cacao for a romantic toast.
1 chocolate "kiss" or "hug"
Ice
2 fluid ounces chocolate liqueur
1 1/2 fluid ounces vanilla flavored vodka
Place the "Kiss" or "Hug" in the bottom of a martini glass. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the chocolate liqueur and vodka to the shaker. Shake briskly to mix and chill. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Makes 1 serving.
Variations:
- Omit the "Kiss" and grate chocolate on top of the martini before serving.
- Create a chocolate "olive": Spear a chocolate covered cherry or a decadent truffle (from Harry & David's) with a plastic cocktail skewer and serve in the drink.
- Rim glass with simple syrup (1 cup water and 1 cup water dissolved together) then dip in sweetened cocoa powder.
- For a mocha martini, use Kahlua in place of the vanilla vodka.
