S’MORES AMORE

INGREDIENTS:

1  1/4 oz. Marshmallow Vodka

3/4 oz. Godiva White Chocolate

3/4 oz. Baileys

1 tbs. Homemade Whipped Cream

2 dash Chocolate Bitters

GARNISH:

Marshmallow

Chocolate Syrup

Graham Cracker (crushed)

PREPARATION:

I have discovered America’s love for S’mores…. as well as developed an infatuation with them myself! These are delicious and Italians would never think of a combination like this!! S’mores Amore!

To put my own spin on it, I have decided to add liquor! Shocking, I know! No campfire needed… although that would be fun too!

Let’s start by preparing our glass. Wet the rim of the glass with Godiva White Chocolate and then dip it into the crushed  Graham Crackers. Next, squeeze some chocolate syrup into your glass. It will settle nicely at the bottom and create a cool ’layer’ effect for your cocktail.

In your shaker add all ingredients in the recipe. Add a scoop of ice and shake it hard for 5 fast seconds. The whipped cream needs to be shaken hard to best create a smooth consistency.  If after 5 seconds the consistency doesn’t look right then you best keep shaking! Strain and pour into your cocktail glass and for the finishing touch add a roasted marshmallow. You can put the marshmallow on a skewer (novelty idea!) or place it on a white ceramic spoon and rest it gently atop the glass or serve alongside your finished cocktail.

Visually this will delight all of us adults who are a kid at heart… it looks like creamy, frothy DELICIOUS chocolate milk and with a yummy chocolate bottom that can be stirred in or saved for last.  The scent is decadent… chocolate and marshmallows bringing you back to those warm summer nights. The taste is incredible… dessert in a glass. Creamy, sweet but still well balanced… the perfect twist on one of America’s favorite past times!
