The Pearl Necklace is February 10th Drink of the Day!!

February 10, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

A very basic cocktail doesn’t mean it lacks a well-rounded flavor. Amazing how a little cream and creme de cacao can give you a beverage that can replace a high-calorie, after-dinner dessert. Equal parts of each ingredient will give you enough creamy chocolate flavor to satisfy and enough to hide any alcohol. Save some room for the best part of the meal!

A very easy to make vodka beverage that tastes more complicated than what it is. Full of flavor and easy enough for a novice to prepare. It will save on preparation time for the last course of dinner.

Pearl Necklace

1 oz. Vodka

1 oz. Creme de Cacao

1 oz. Cream

Method: In a mixing glass filled with ice, pour in equal parts of all three ingredients. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. If you have any available, place some shaved chocolate on top of the drink.
