The Best Key Lime Martini / Dry or Boozy
I’ve long been a fan of the specialty cocktail. I had a variety of mojito options at my wedding, and it wasn't a question of if the guests were drinking them, but how many.
I have discovered and enjoyed many a cocktail over the years, but the key lime martini remains a favorite. I was introduced to this sweet-sour beverage by a college boyfriend, and although he had many lovely qualities, this martini was his legacy.
Hitting all the tropical flavors and without being too creamy, this is the cocktail I need to get me through these grey days. The only problem is - I’ve gone dry - so I had to find an alternative that tasted just as nice. For those of you that enjoy a little kick to your cocktail, fear not, I have included the original alcoholic version as well.
Key Lime Martini
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vanilla Vodka (Smirnoff Vanilla does the trick, but go nuts with whatever you've got on hand) OR Dry Vanilla Bean Sparkling Soda
- 1/2 oz Rose's Key Lime Juice (don't mess around here, stay on brand)
- 2 oz Pineapple juice (that stuff in the giant can takes care of business, but go organic if you're feeling fancy)
- Ice
- Crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Dip your martini glass rim in water, then dip in a plate of crushed graham crackers.
- Pour all other ingredients, including ice, in a shaker and shake baby shake!
- Pour into martini glass and garnish with a lime slice.
If you try it, let me know!
With love,
