Vampire’s Kiss

Take a French Martini, cross (ha ha—get it? “cross”) it with a Vampire, ditch the juice, add a splash of bubbly, and you have given birth to a Vampire’s Kiss Martini. The taste of the drink itself is anything but scary; it’s actually very elegant and something that would work not only for Halloween, but for Valentine’s Day or any Champagne occasion. For its intended holiday, it is perfect because the Chambord gives it a dark, almost black color.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz Finlandia Vodka
1 1/2 oz Korbel Champagne
3/4 oz Chambord
red sugar for rimming

Preparation

Rim the glass with red sugar (use food coloring) or drop in a set of wax vampire teeth for a real surprise.

Pour vodka and half of the Chambord in a martini glass.

Top with Champagne.

Pour the remaining Chambord over the back of a spoon to make it float.

Well, I think it’s pretty obvious that the thing I’m most excited about this week is our new digs.  I am just over the moon delighted about how beautiful it is, & how nice it is to finally have our fun, sexy playground back.  And wait until you see some of the things Darling Jeannie says we can do with this in the future…decorating for the holidays, changing the color of the room, blinging up the sidebars…etc.  Oh, yes, we’re going to have a blast.  We just have to be careful that we don’t ask too much too soon.  I mean, I just found this gal, I don’t want to wear her out right off the bat. :faint

So now I want to know what you’re happy about this week…& how you did on last week’s “Mission: Possible — Say hello to everyone you meet.“

Scary, sexy vampire or escapee from a sadly pathetic Punk-Goth band?  You decide.
