ButterMyScotch Martinis
The perfect sipping martini! It makes a nice relaxing after dinner cocktail that will make you smile. Oh, who am I kidding? Anytime is a good time to sip this (All right, I 'fess for some of us, slam) yummy candy treat. I even licked my glass, teehee!
Preparation:
Pour 2.5 oz. Bacardi Vanilla Vodka into glass.
Add Butterscotch Schnapps and enough Bailey's Irish Cream to create creamy consistency.
Shake all ingredients over ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.
If you don't want to use Vodka you can use Vanilla Cruzan Rum.
Now that you got your cocktail it's time to indulge. If drinking or eating Butterscotch is not enough, be sure to check out my site. I offer Home Fragrances and Bath & Body Goodies in Butterscotch.
Butterscotch Sugar Scrub anyone?
Cheers Dears!
