Author Christin @ Blue Crab Martini

Ingredients

  • 4 oz Half and Half*
  • 6 oz Limoncello
  • 6 oz Vanilla flavored rum
  • 4 tbsp Simple syrup
  • 1/2 Lemon juiced
  • Whipped cream of choice* (I made my own vanilla infused cream- see note below)
  • Graham cracker crumbs for garnish
  • Lemon slice for garnish

Instructions

  • Rim two martini glasses with crushed graham cracker pieces.
  • Combine the half n half, limoncello, vanilla rum, simple syrup, and lemon juice in a martini shaker filled with ice.
  • Shake until chilled and well combined.
  • Pour the liquid into the graham cracker lined martini glasses.
  • Top with a dollop of whipped cream, garnish with a lemon slice, and sprinkle with additional graham cracker pieces.

Notes

*This recipe can be made dairy-free by replacing the half n half with coconut milk. Also, to make homemade vanilla whipped cream, whip about 1 ½ cups of heavy cream and 2 tsp of vanilla extract in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add sweetener of choice to suit your taste preferences. You could also substitute coconut milk for the heavy cream for a dairy-free garnish.
