Black Forest Martini Recipes

Steps:

• In a martini shaker, fill with about 1 cup of ice.
• Add Creme de Cacao, vodka, and Chambord.
• Shake well.
• Pour into chilled martini glasses.

Steps:

• Simply pour the milk over the ice.
• Stir in the other two ingredients.
• Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip and a drizzle of chocolate sauce; top with a cherry! Yum!

Steps:

• Make the rich simple syrup: Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Transfer to a glass jar and let cool. The syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Make the cocktail: Add the grenadine, blue curacao, rich simple syrup, gin, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker and fill with ½ cup (70 G) ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, until combined.
• Carefully light the bunch of thyme on fire with a kitchen torch. Blow out the flame and invert a highball glass over the thyme to capture the smoke. Let sit for 30 seconds.
• Fill the glass with the remaining ½ cup ice, strain the cocktail into the glass, and garnish with the remaining 2 sprigs of thyme and the pink peppercorns.
• Enjoy!
