The Rise and Shine - Spring is here!

We have a great spring cocktail for you, perfect for ANY Easter celebration.

The Rise and Shine


2 oz Dry vermouth
1 oz Crème de violette
1 tbsp Cool whip
One egg white
½ oz Sexycat marshmallow liqueur
½ oz Frankincense simple syrup (see recipe below)
5 lemon drops crushed to a fine powder
1 Peeps marshmallow for garnish

Combine everything except Peeps in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously to smooth any chunks of Cool Whip that may be inclined to form. Use a mortar and pestle, a Magic Bullet, or a coffee grinder to crush lemon drops to a fine powder suitable for rimming. Rim the martini glass with lemon drop preparation, fill with cocktail, and garnish with one Peeps marshmallow on the rim (partially cut up the center to help ‘straddle’ the martini glass upright). Drink in the springtime freshness and start your day off right!
