This past Tuesday, I had the honor of once again appearing as a guest on the nationally syndicated lifetstyle and entertainment show BETTER! I had a blast with BETTER reporter, Rhiannon Ally, shaking up my world famous “WHITE CHRISTMAS MARTINI” and my brand new “LAST CALL COCKTAIL”!, inspired for and by all those on the fly holiday hosts and hostesss who need a elegant but easy to make cocktail for those last minute holiday guests. All the ingredients in the “LAST CALL” can easily be found within arms reach in any home dressed for the holidays.
Here’s how you make each cocktail….
Signature David’s “White Christmas Martini”
1 1/2 oz 42Below vodka, 1 1/2 oz Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur, 1 oz half and half, Drizzle of Chambord, Drizzle of Frangelico
Combine ingredients in a shaker over crushed ice. Shake well (until frothy!!!) and strain into a well-chilled marinti glass. Screwer three plump raspberries on a white birch twig and lay across the top of martini glass. Dust the raspberries with confectioner’s sugar.
Signature David’s “Last Call Cocktail”
1 oz 42Below vodka, 1 1/2 oz Orange Juice, 1 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice, Champagne
Combine all ingredients with the exception of the champagne over a shaker filled with ice and shake well. Strain into a champagne flute and top with two the three ounces of champagne (depending on the size of your glass). Garnish with an orange peel skewered on a metal pick.
Thanks, again, to Rhiannon and all the great folks at BETTER. The Christmas show will air on Christmas Eve, so be sure to check your tv listings for your local station and air time. You can also visit the BETTER website at www.better.tv for more information or to view the videos on line.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
