It absolutely needs a dash of tomato juice, a lettuce garnish...and a notched crouton on the glass beside the slice of pig. Voila, the BLTini. (Patent pending.)
I have to brag about my donut martini, invented on a bored afternoon when one of the servers brought a packet of leetle powdered donuts in for a snack and left one on the bar for me. The drink tastes like a coconut-covered donut, and has a pleasing hue and consistency. I think it's too sweet, but we sold several of them as after-dinner drinks and the after-close consensus was "good chick drink". Plus it looks cool.
Donut Martini
1 oz Malibu rum
1 oz vanilla vodka (I use Absolut, YMMV)
1 oz half-and-half
1/4 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
Shake over ice and strain into martini glass. Garnish rim with mini-donut, drip one drop of vanilla extract into center of drink.
To make a rasberry donut martini, substitute Chambord for Baileys, do not add vanilla extract.
