Key Lime Martini Recipes

SUSAN'S KEY LIME MARTINI

Steps:

• Spread the graham cracker crumbs onto a small, shallow plate. Moisten the rims of 2 martini glasses with the lime wedges; reserve the lime wedges. Dip the moistened glasses into the graham cracker crumbs and set aside. Reserve the lime wedges and remaining graham cracker crumbs to use as a garnish.
• Pour the vodka, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, almond syrup, and whipped cream into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into the rimmed glasses. Place a lime wedge on the edge of each glass and sprinkle the cocktails with some of the reserved graham cracker crumbs to garnish.

KEY LIME 'MARTINI'

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, add the limes and top with a bit of ice. Muddle this until the limes are pretty much decimated. Fill the rest of the shaker with ice, add the vodka, key lime juice, and simple syrup. Top this mixture with whipped cream. Take a chilled cocktail glass and run a lime around the rim, then dip the rim in the crushed graham crackers. Now, I usually just pop a pint glass over the cocktail shaker to shake, but you could use just a regular lid that comes with the shaker. Shake this mix REALLY well, then strain into the chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.
