The Mocha Mint Martini is May 13th Drink of the Day!!

Before we get into this Drink of the Day, it’s important to mention the most important part of this day: the celebration of all moms out there! Happy Mother’s Day!!

Let’s forget about coinciding the drink with the history of the day and instead find a drink I think your mom may enjoy. I have a drink that’s creamy and minty with a hint of coffee flavor that should do the trick. At least it’ll keep her motivated to do all the things that make her incredible. There are quite a few ingredients in this. I have a video that shows you how to make it step by step on my “The Home Bartender Series” on my Shaun the Bartender Video Page on YouTube. Here’s the link: http://youtu.be/Y9mEkEv4F0Y

Mocha Mint Martini
3/4 oz. Vodka
3/4 oz. Coffee Liqueur
1/2 oz. Irish Cream
1/2 oz. Creme de Cacao
1/2 oz. Creme de Menthe
1/2 oz. Half and Half

Method: Place all ingredients into a shaker tin with ice. Shake vigorously then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. For garnish, drop three coffee beans into the drink.
