String of Pearls

This is a sweet, smooth, dare I say “cozy” after-dinner drink to serve on a night you’re staying in with a movie on the big screen TV. They also might fit alongside the Sidecar, Whiskey Sour and Horse’s Neck at a 1940′s Prohibition-themed party. The creme de cacao and the half-and-half pretty much sweep any alcoholic bite right out of the glass, so be careful. They go down fast.
I have made this drink a couple times now for MG. Not sure how he feels about the actual drink, but he’s certainly loving that I’ve regularly got bags of Hershey almond kisses in the kitchen cupboard.
- 1 1/2 cups of cracked ice or 6 ice cubes
- 1 1/2 ounces of vodka
- 1/2 ounce white creme de cacao
- 1/2 ounce of half and half
- 1 chocolate kiss or chocolate-covered coffee bean
- SERVES ONE
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice and then add the vodka, creme de cacao and half-and-half. Shake vigorously to blend and chill
Place the chocolate kiss in the bottom of a chilled martini glass. Strain the mixture into the glass and serve
