Orange Tiger Martini Recipes

CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE MARTINI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place chunks of chocolate into a heat-safe metal or glass bowl and put the bowl over a pot of water.
• Heat and simmer the water until the chocolate is completely melted, stirring regularly.
• Pour the melted chocolate onto a small plate and dip the rim of a cocktail glass into the chocolate.
• Stand the glass upright and allow the chocolate to set.
• Chill the glass in the freezer or refrigerator for 10 to 30 minutes.
• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the vodka, crème de cacao, and orange liqueur.
• Shake well.
• Strain into the prepared glass.

ORANGE TIGER MARTINI

Steps:

• Place chopped apricots, brown sugar, 1 ounce of the Grand Marnier and 5 tablespoons of the orange juice in a small pot over low heat and simmer until thick and syrupy, stirring frequently. About 8-10 minutes for the apricot flavor to infuse the simple syrup. (If your apricots are very dry they will soak up more of the fluid, lower heat and add more juice.)
• Strain syrup mixture pressing with the back of a spoon to release all the liquid.
• In a cocktail shaker filled with ice (or use two glasses that fit one inside the other) combine syrup solution with whipping cream, coconut milk, rums, remaining 1/2 ounce of Grand Marnier and 3 ounces of fresh squeezed orange juice. Add a dash of bitters.
• Vigorously shake and strain into a martini glass.
• Serve. Yum!
