Peachy Keen

martini.gifpeach.jpg I have perfected my recipe for the Peachy Keen Martini, which may or may not be an original name or an original drink.

I am of the opinion that this drink is a perfect blend of flavor-- lightly sweet, lightly fruity and very martini.



  1. Fill one martini glass to within 1/2-inch from the top with Stoly Persik. For the very best Peachy Keen you will have stored the Stoly Persik (peach infused vodka) in the freezer for several days.

  2. Fill a steel martini shaker about 1/3 full with semi-crushed ice.

  3. Pour the Stoly Persik into the martini shaker.

  4. Add to the shaker a glug or two of Stolichnaya 100 proof vodka. This normally comes in a silver-labeled bottle.

  5. Cap the shaker and shake vigorously, until you can't hold onto the shaker any more due to the cold.
    Warning! Do NOT put your tongue on the shaker no matter who triple-dog-dares you!

  6. Strain the contents of the shaker back into the martini glass.

  7. Float a small amount of Grand Marnier around the edges of the glass. Not too much now-- you don't want it to be too sweet!

  8. If you are serving a guest, maybe a sprig of mint would look nice in the glass.


Drink slowly over two or three hours. Do not attempt to knit, stitch, drive or make an intellectual point. If this is a first date, either wear your chastity belt or your best lacy underthings. Take off those stiletto heels before you attempt to walk upstairs. You have been warned.

Hey hey hey! I just gloomily clicked on my link to your site, hoping against hope that something might have changed...and it had! So glad.

Sounds like a nearly fruity martini for a non-fruity non-martini drinking girl!

I don't drink but somehow your description makes me want to bathe in a vat of the stuff!

Hello,

I secret read you for months and was sad when you went away. I don't know what caused me to "check, just in case," but I was quite please to see you were back at it... and with tasty drink recipes to boot. :)

That should be "I secretly read you..." or maybe it should be "I read you in secret," but it shouldn't be "I secret read you...." I must be distracted but the thought I going home and having a nice soothing beverage to take my mind off my knitting disaster.
