Almond Joy Martini - Cocktail of the Week

So we've done the festive-looking Halloween cocktails, now for the one that combines the best part of Halloween with the best part of being over 21!

Candy, meet booze!

My two favorite treats on Halloween are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Almond Joy candies. We've already done a Peanut Butter Cup martini recipe, so this time around, let's do the Almond Joy Martini!

Ingredients:

1.5 oz. coconut rum (or vodka)
1 oz. dark creme de cacao
1 oz. amaretto
.5 oz. cream
chocolate sauce, to garnish
shredded coconut, to garnish

Rim a cocktail glass with chocolate sauce and coconut. Shake all remaining ingredients over ice and strain into glass. Enjoy!

Switch it up:

Use vodka instead of rum.
Make it a Mounds by leaving out the amaretto, and upping the creme de cacao.
Blend it with ice or vanilla ice cream for a frosty spiked milkshake!

Happy Halloween!
