If you remember, yesterday I shared our Bacon themed cocktail party with you. You probably noticed that I didn’t share my martini recipe. I felt that this martini deserves a post all to itself. A star like that does not want to share its spotlight with anyone!
Since the theme of my cocktail party was bacon, and more specifically, brown sugar bacon, I wanted to make a sweet cocktail with the brown sugar rim. I spent about half an hour walking around Total Wines, trying to decide on the cocktail to make. My mom’s favorite liquor is Amaretto, so I was planning on using amaretto as the main ingredient. Now, I had to find the perfect flavor buddies for it.
Amaretto, is pretty sweet on its own, so I needed something to add a little extra flavor and something to take down the sweetness a little. I found the perfect combination, although, a lethal combination. Please do take a note, this martini is like candy, it will taste sweet and smooth but it is 90% liquor so drink it slow 🙂
Ingredients:
2 oz Amaretto
1/2 oz Peach Schnapps
3/4 oz Vodka
1 oz club soda
1/4 of an orange
Directions:
1. Rub the rim of the martini glass with am orange.
2. Pour some brown sugar in a small plate and dip the martini glass into the sugar to make the brown sugar rim.
3. Combine the Amaretto, peach schnapps, vodka, club soda and squeeze the 1/4 of the orange into the shaker. Shake and carefully pour into the martini glass.

I’m sorry, I don’t know who made them. I made this while I was at my mom’s house and they are her glasses. I wish I did though because I would like some for myself! 😀 But I have seen some similar ones at home goods so maybe you could find some at your local store.
WOW – this looks so good! I am not usually one to sit back and “need” a cocktail, but after looking at this and imagining the flavors… I think I need one!
I could use one of those right now Lyuba! 🙂 It sounds delicious and perfect for fall and I seriously love that you had a bacon themed cocktail party. Thanks so much for sharing this at Inspiration Friday! Vanessa
WOW! Now that I have read this post I forgive you for making me wait. This is not only beautiful to look at but the ingredients! Amazing. I can’t wait to make one. thank you for sharing, 😀
Beautiful drink in a beautiful glass. Do you know the name of your martini glass?
Thanks
Hi Elice,

Thanks for taking the time to respond..delicious drink, thanks for sharing. Quarantine must be getting to me when I have “martini glass envy”!🤪
A martini bar by my house make a Marzipan martini – half amaretto and half grapefruit juice. Try it – it’s delish!
Just wanted you to know that we love your martini and we are featuring it this week at Inspiration Friday! 🙂 Thank you for sharing it with us!

That is an absolutely stunning drink! I’ll definitely have a couple. 🙂
It looks absolutely DIVINE! In addition to being a “brown sugar bacon” party drink, I think it also sounds like a great “Fall Festival” drink…
