This weekend Lauren, Vic and I began a conversation on Twitter about drinks themed after our favourite icons. Being the lush that I am, I proclaimed I would come up with a Georgiana-inspired drink (or two) just in time for Cinco de Mayo.
Devonshire Brown Martini
Drizzle chocolate syrup into empty martini glass
1 oz VanGough chocolate vodka
1/2 Godiva chocolate liqueur
1 oz Devonshire Irish Cream
Top with whipped cream and or cherry
Kisses For Votes aka Blue and Buff
Champagne of your choice
A dash of Blue Curacao liqueur
Top with cherry
Duchess of D--
3 oz Everclear
8 oz Sprite
6 oz Strawberry Margarita Mix
Blend together with ice and serve in chilled glass
The Devonshire Brown Martini looks to die for! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThe Duchess of D sounds dangerous, but I'll give the other two a try. What fun!
ReplyDeleteI think your drinks are more exciting than my Pink Pelisse! I will make an image of mine (which can look like Pepto Bismol if one isn't careful!)
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun contest.
One of the best drinks I have ever had looked like pepto bismal! I made the bartender fix me up something that tasted like chocolate covered strawberries and thats what I got.
ReplyDeleteYou obviously like a dessert martini. I'll quiz my husband [a master of drinkology] for a dryer interpretation, for those of us who would askew the sweeter for the tart. For the record, I can imagine an 18th duchess loving a 'girly' martini.
ReplyDeleteGuilty as charged. I'm sure your hubby might have more expertise in this field than moi so alterations could be the safest bet!
ReplyDeleteOoh - they sound yummy! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I can get hold of Everclear - I think I need to find an alternative ... what does it taste like?
And I'm totally with you on the sweet drinks!
I have got my drinks, but I think I will save them for Monday.
ReplyDeleteThen all you lushes can go wild.
Mondays are a great day for drinks! Or should they go up Saturday!?
