Key lime pie martini

I know I talk about my bestest friend ALL the time on my blog.  (Much to the dismay of my best friend since childhood, who always loves to talk about herself.)  But my bestest always reads my blog.  Like checks it almost daily.  Right now my bestest is in Key West Florida and I’m sooooo jealous!!  I mentioned previously how she lost all this weight when she tried on a bikini and saw imaginary back fat.  Well she managed to lose even more weight because she wants to eat key lime pie EVERY day in Key West.  Key lime pie on a stick, chocolate key lime pie, chocolate covered key lime pie on a stick.  All the key lime pie all the time everyday.  And mimosas every morning for breakfast.  That’s how she wants to roll.  So in honor of her fabulous vacation, I made a key lime pie martini! And because I’m here and she’s there and I’m all like wah.

For this recipe I used cake vodka, fresh lime juice, and almond milk.  You could use any kind of milk or cream and you could also use Rose’s lime juice which is sweetened.  Also for the rim of the glass, regular crushed graham crackers work just fine.  I actually had leftover graham cracker crumbs that were mixed with melted butter and sugar that I made into a crust for a blackberry cream pie for my mom’s birthday. I even ate all the leftover graham cracker crumbs while sipping my drink because you know what’s on the rim of the glass is never enough.  I have no shame.  And actually who am I kidding, lime juice mixed with cream or milk can curdle really fast so this drink isn’t much for sipping. You have to drink it a little faster. Pity, I know.
