Key Lime Martini

Day 156



Key Lime Martini
4.5 shots out of 5

Move over Appletini there's a new green cocktail on the block.  May I introduce to you the Key Lime Martini.  Now you can enjoy your favorite dessert in a glass.




OK, OK, so I felt bad last night that I made and drank all of the Key Lime Daiquiri and my husband got none.  

Then, Anita from the Hungry Couple posted a link today to her Key Lime Martini recipe that she had made.  

Problem solved!  

My husband is a very happy man right now!


I gave tonight's cocktail 4.5 shots out of 5.  

This is yet another great cocktail from Anita and her Hungry Couple Blog!  

Thank You Anita!  

I can definitely taste the lime in this cocktail and it tastes good!!  

I am ABSOLUTELY going to have to check out more of her cocktails!  

This cocktail is a good blend of all of the ingredients giving the lime a little more flavor then the rest (as it should be).  I will be making this as well as the Key Lime Daiquiri in the future most definitely!  

If you are a fan of lime, I would suggest you try both of these cocktails, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!!

(P.S. Check out my Birthday Presents over on my New Cocktail Equipment and Supplies tab)

Here is the recipe for a Key Lime Martini:

  • 1 1/3 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1 oz light rum
  • 1 oz melon liqueur
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp simple syrup


In a shaker add ice and all ingredients above.  Shake them up real well and strain them into a chilled martini glass and enjoy!




Once again, Thank You to Anita from Hungry Couple for your fabulous Key Lime cocktails!!  Can't wait to check out more of your cocktails!!

Cheers!!

  1. oh yeah... this one's a keeper! I made it twice, once with Rose's sweetened lime juice and once with the Key West Lime juice. For this particular drink, I think the Key West works better. The sweetened lime was just a little too mild for what is supposed to be a limey drink.

    I don't have any right now so I can't test it out, but I'm thinking a dash of cream and ringing the martini glass with crushed graham crackers and you've got a winner of a dessert drink.

    1. I totally agree!! For this one the Key West Lime Juice does sound like it would be better then the Rose's. Your additions make this cocktail sound even more delicious!!
