What time is it kidoes? It's happy hour Friday time! And this fabulous Friday afternoon we have for your delectation a beautiful, girly drink. A dessert in a glass. A true piece of art. Nah, it's just Key lime pie in liquid form, but darn is it good.
Key Lime Pie Martini
Adapted from P.F. Chang's China Bistro
1½ ounces Licor 43
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (about 5 Key limes or 1 really juicy Persian lime), plus extra for rim of glass
1 ounce half and half
½ ounce Simple Syrup
½ cup prepared whipped cream (such as Extra-Creamy Reddi-Whip)
Crushed graham crackers
Lime wedge or zest, for garnish
Rim the martini glass with lime juice, then dip the rim in fine graham cracker crumbs. Put the glass into the freezer for 30 minutes or more before the drink is made.
Load a martini shaker half full of ice. Add the Licor 43, Key lime juice, half and half, and Simple Syrup. Add the whipped cream. Shake well. Strain and pour into the chilled martini glass and garnish, if desired, with additional whipped cream and lime.
Simple Syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and stir the mixture until all of the sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
