KEY LIME 'MARTINI'



KEY LIME 'MARTINI' image

Categories     Citrus     No-Cook     Cocktail Party     Quick & Easy

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 of a lime, sliced
ice
4 parts Stolichnaya vanilla vodka
1 part key lime juice
1 count simple syrup
whipped cream
crushed graham crackers

Steps:

  • In a cocktail shaker, add the limes and top with a bit of ice. Muddle this until the limes are pretty much decimated. Fill the rest of the shaker with ice, add the vodka, key lime juice, and simple syrup. Top this mixture with whipped cream. Take a chilled cocktail glass and run a lime around the rim, then dip the rim in the crushed graham crackers. Now, I usually just pop a pint glass over the cocktail shaker to shake, but you could use just a regular lid that comes with the shaker. Shake this mix REALLY well, then strain into the chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.

KEY LIME PIE MARTINI RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Key Lime Pie Martini Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-18433

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons Licor 43 or your favorite vanilla liqueur
1 tablespoon lemon-flavored vodka
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons heavy cream, whipped with 2 teaspoons sugar, or 2 tablespoons Cool Whip
1 lime wedge, to garnish
1/2 tablespoons finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, to garnish martini glass

Steps:

  • Chill a martini glass overnight or for 2 to 3 hours, or until frosty. In a shaker filled with ice, mix vanilla liqueur, lemon-flavored vodka, lime juice, heavy cream, and whipped cream. Shake until shaker is icy cold. Rub rim with lime and dip into the graham cracker crumbs. Strain drink into a glass, garnish with the lime wedge. Serve immediately.

Tips for Making the Perfect Key Lime Martini:

  • Use fresh key limes: Fresh key limes are essential for getting the best flavor in your martini. Bottled or store-bought key lime juice will not give you the same results.
  • Rim the glass with sugar: This adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the martini and helps balance out the tartness of the key lime juice.
  • Use a good quality vodka: The vodka you use will make a big difference in the taste of your martini. Choose a smooth, high-quality vodka that you enjoy drinking neat.
  • Don't over-shake the martini: Over-shaking the martini will dilute it and make it watery. Shake it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Serve the martini immediately: Martinis are best served immediately after they are made. The ice will melt and dilute the martini if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

The key lime martini is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, it is sure to please everyone. Follow these tips to make the perfect key lime martini at home. You can also experiment with different variations of the recipe to find your favorite way to enjoy this classic cocktail.
