Gumbo Ya Ya: Chocolate Cherry Martini

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 Martini

I saw Trisha Yearwood make this cocktail on her FoodNetwork show. It looked and sounded wonderful. And, guess what… it IS wonderful. Definitely a sweeter drink, but very tasty and enjoyable. Hubby and I each had one on Valentine’s Day. Yum! (this recipe makes 3 cocktails)

Ingredients:

Cherry Vodka – 3 oz

Chocolate Liquor – 3 oz

Cherry Juice – 3 oz

Juice of ½ a Lemon

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well. Serve with Cherry Garnish.

Note: I’ve also substituted Cherry Whipped Vodka for plain cherry vodka – and I’ve swapped out 1 oz of Chocolate Whipped Vodka for 1 oz of the chocolate liquor. Equally delicious!!
