White Chocolate Peppermint Martini

Christmas is almost here and I wanted to take a moment to thank YOU!    And share a favorite holiday cocktail.....a White Chocolate Peppermint Martini - the perfect drink for the holiday season! 

I made a batch up for happy hour tonight and decided to snap a few photos along the way....does this not look YUMMY? !!!!

It starts with these fixins'........

First crush some peppermint candies..........

Then dip a glass in a small plate of Marshmallow Sundae topping....then dip again in another plate with the crushed peppermints.

You'll end up with something beautiful like this......

...now take some more of the Marshmallow Sundae topping and drizzle some inside the glass and then place your glasses in the freezer for a bit.

In a shaker with ice, add the following ingredients to make 2 martini's:


4 oz. Vanilla Vodka
2 oz. Peppermint Schnapps
4 oz. White Chocolate Liquor
2 Heaping Tablespoons of softened Peppermint Ice Cream

Shake for a minute.  Remove the glasses from the freezer and pour the mix from the shaker into each glass.  You can sprinkle extra crushed peppermints on top for extra yumminess!


Enjoy!

As this year winds down to an end, I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who comes to visit my blog, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and website too.  Your support and friendship means everything to this little business of mine and I never forget that without you, it would not be possible to follow my dreams and passions every single day.  I hope the new year will bring you and your loved ones many blessings for a year filled with love and happiness.  

Merci mon amies ~  Joy

Open for business!

A sneak peek of my new studio….a few more finishing touches and I will be ready for a photo shoot to share pictures of my new space.  

 

 

 

I re-opened the website for business today and I am already back in the swing of things.  It feels good to be done with our renovations, move and almost done with unloading boxes.  A day at my new work desk is pure heaven!  ~ xoxo ~ Joy

 

Ready, Set....MOVE!

After almost 2 and a half months of renovations, we are down to the wire and finally packing to move to our new home on the bayou!

It has been a lot of work and there is still much to do, but our current home sold fast so now we need to go.  My studio is closing to prepare for the move and set up in a new location so I am closing the website for a bit while we make the transition.   I plan to be back by Monday, September 23rd, so until then, thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you right back here in a few weeks.  Merci mon amies ~ xoxo Joy
