HAMMER HORROR
1 measure vodka
1 measure Kahlua
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Dark chocolate for garnish
Happy Halloween fellow cocktailers! It’s been a different
one around my house this year. Hurricane Sandy postponed trick or treating; I
have zero decorations up because my living room is under construction; and no
one was up for carving pumpkins. What was left was horror movies. And the
perfect cocktail to sip while watching one was the HAMMER HORROR.
To make the cocktail, I put vodka, Kahlua and one scoop of
the best vanilla ice cream I could afford into a blender. I then added a small
handful of crushed ice and blended it on high for about one minute. Lastly, I poured
the creamy mixture into a martini glass and garnished with some grated dark
chocolate.
The horror movie we watched was “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire
Killer.” It was actually a pretty good flick with a lot of historical accuracy.
The storyline and special effects were both good, and there was enough blood to
keep my 12 year old boy happy. The HAMMER HORROR, on the other hand, wasn’t horrible
at all. It was more like wonderful. The Kahlua, though coffee liquor, gave the
cocktail a chocolate flavor, and the ice cream made it taste like a delicious shake.
I see where the hammer part comes in, for it is a strong cocktail. Still, Hubby
and I had no trouble drinking it quickly. Definitely one of the best Halloween
treats I’ve ever had.
Drink Up^
