Fiesta Friday ~ Black Swan-Inspired Oscar Cocktail

Sarah sent me this little gem last week, and while I still have not had the chance to make it, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up sharing with everyone (plus it's an Oscar Cocktail and the Oscars are this Sunday)!  It's a "Black Swan-Inspired Oscar Cocktail" courtesy of People.com. Not only does the picture make this cocktail look delicious, but its ingredients are equally as tempting.  If I get the chance, I'm seriously contemplating buying white feathers and a black serving tray just to give off the same effect.  It would be epic.  I'm sure Ben's reading this now and is thrilled at the idea of watching the Oscars with a sexy martini in one hand and a white feather boa in the other. 

Here are the ingredients for two drinks:
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 4 ounces white chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 2 ounces simple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon chocolate syrup
  • 1 tablespoon black sugar crystals
Then...
  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat half and half.  Remove saucepan from heat when half and half is warm and start to whisk in white chocolate until melted.  Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool.  Once cooled, stir in vodka and simple syrup.
  2. Dip the rims of your martini glasses in water, then dip each in black sugar.  Put 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup in each martini glass.  Tilt the glass to form stripes.  Pour in martini mixture and serve.
