Halloween Happy Hour: Almond Joy Martini (encore)Posted Oct 31st 2007 5:31PM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Chocolate, Candy, Cocktails, Liqueurs, HalloweenYou know that on Halloween, it's all about candy for the costumed kids, but for those of us who are beyond the age of trick-or-treating (but not beyond dressing up!), the treats come in the form of drinks. Specifically for Halloween, we are talking about what my friends and I call "Booze Candy" -- cocktails made from candy- and chocolate-flavored liquors that are inspired by candy.The Almond Joy Martini is something I've posted about before, but since it's Halloween, thought I'd bring up the drink named after one of my favorite candy bars. The cocktail mixes chocolate, coconut, and nutty flavors, resulting in a ridiculously delicious drink that could double as a dessert. I suppose if you left out the nutty liquor, you'd have a Mounds Martini since sometimes, you don't always feel like a nut!Shake 1 oz. each of coconut-flavored rum (Parrot Bay or Malibu), Frangelico, Godiva or other chocolate-flavored liqueur, Hershey's chocolate syrup, and vodka. Add 4 oz. half and half or light cream, shake with ice, then strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with shredded coconut.
