SNICKERTINI

SNICKERTINI

Don’t snicker at the SNICKERTINI cocktail, like my friend Dana did, because it is downright delicious. Dana snickers at all hard alcohol cocktails — something to do with a 21^st birthday party gone wild — but she loves her wine and beer. So the new Woods Martini and Wine Bar was a perfect place to meet her on a beautiful Friday night, one of those nights where the patio is full and the bar is empty.

I was craving a little dessert in my life and the SNICKERTINI seemed like the best choice on the menu. To make it, the bartender first put chocolate syrup all around and at the bottom of a martini glass, then topped the syrup on the bottom with some fresh shavings from a snickers bar. I know, you like it already, don’t you? She then put the ingredients above into a shaker, filled it with ice, shook and strained it into the glass.

The SNICKERTINI was the dessert I was looking for. It was rich, but it was not very chocolately. It was a strong martini, but with three liquors in it, one has to expect a big punch. Of course, I had no problem making it to the bottom of the glass, where all the yummy snickers bar shavings were. That was actually my favorite part of this cocktail and I will not wait too long before heading to Woods for another one. Yep, nothing quite satisfies like a SNICKERTINI.
