Gumbo Ya Ya: Chocolate Cherry-Tini

Welcome to my site!

I'm Cindy, and I love to cook! And, I love to eat... hence the size of my rear end! I come from a long line of cooks. My great great Grandmother was a cook in the original Harvey Houses. My grandmother Julia was an awesome cook, and my mom was incredible. I owe my skills to these great women. Especially my Mom who said this to me about making gravy... "Cindy Lynn, wallpaper paste is wallpaper paste & gravy is gravy. Never the two shall meet!" Shall we say my first experience at making gravy left a little bit to be desired! Thank the high heavens my cooking skills have improved since then! Enjoy!

Chocolate Cherry-Tini

I'm really loving the Pinnacle Whipped Vodka flavors. I got this idea from the Pinnacle recipe website. It's a great after dinner cocktail. Enjoy!

Ingredients for 2-tini's:

2 oz Chocolate Whipped Vodka

1 oz Cherry Whipped Vodka

2 oz milk (or half and half)

Chocolate Syrup to swirl in the glass

Directions:

Chill two martini glasses the freezer.

Drizzle some chocolate syrup in each of the chilled glasses.

Put ice in a cocktail shaker. Add vodkas and milk. Shake vigorously. Pour into the chilled glasses.

(Note: If you use half and half, shake the vodka with the ice first. Then add the half and half and stir with a spoon. Shaking the half and half makes it too frothy.)
