ONO Italian Love Affair Martini
Seduce your taste buds with my sexy remake of the traditional tiramisu martini. Serve your loved one a biscotti dipped in this tantalizing drink.
INGREDIENTS:
2 ounce kahlua
3 ounces of chilled ONO Mate Toscana*
1 ounce vanilla vodka
1 ounce of white crème de cacao
2 ounces of light cream
Plate of chocolate shavings
sliced strawberries
* Use 1 tsp of mate toscana tea to brew 3 ounces of mate toscana. Infuse the tea for 15 min. Chill.
* Simple syrup : equal parts of hot water and white sugar. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is cooled before using. This can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks.
PREPARATION:
Dip the rim of the martini glass in simple syrup. Then dip the rim in your plate of chocolate shavings.
Combine the kalua and chilled mate toscana in the martini glass.
Combine the vodka, white creme de cacao, light cream, simple syrup in a martini shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously and carefully strain into the rimmed martini glass. This will create a layer on top of the mate toscana layer.
Garnish with a slice of strawberry.
