Equipment

  • 1 Cocktail Shaker
  • 1 Cocktail Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Oz Vodka
  • 3 Oz Pineapple Juice

  • ¼ cup Lime Juice
  • 1-2 tablespoon Coconut Cream
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-2 tablespoon Honey

Instructions
 

How to Rim Glass with Graham Cracker Crust

  • Begin by pouring about 1-2 tablespoons of honey onto a small saucer sized plate.
  • Next, take 2 graham crackers and place in a Ziploc bag (or lay on a paper towel and cover crackers with an additional paper towel).
  • With a heavy object like a meat pounder or even a handheld can opener, begin breaking the graham crackers a part until they are in crumbles. This step will take maybe 30 seconds, you will want the graham crackers to be like fine dust.
  • Then, after the graham crackers have been crushed, place them on a small saucer plate similar or like the size of the plate the honey is on.
  • Take your martini glass and dip the rim into the honey. In other words, you will dip the top/rim of the glass and also the side of the martini glass too so that the graham cracker can adhere to the side of the glass about a ½ inch down the glass.
  • Lastly, repeat this step depending on the number of people you are serving and set aside.

How to Make Key Lime Martini

  • First, grab your cocktail shaker and add ¼ cup to ½ cup of ice.
  • Second, pour in the vodka, cream, pineapple juice, vanilla extract and 2-3 drops of green food coloring.
  • Once the cocktail ingredients have been added to the shaker, cover the cocktail shaker with a lid and begin vigorously shaking the cocktail for about 30 seconds.
  • The longer you shake the cocktail, the "fluffier" and creamier it will become.
  • Lastly, once the cocktail has been shaken, evenly pour the martini amongst the dressed glasses and enjoy!
