Yes, with all the snow in Texas we have a brand new beer cooler. It is large and spacious. You can walk up and look at your selection without any crowding or tight spaces. Nope not at all.

This new and improved beer cooler (and can be used to keep your wine very very cold too) is called:

"The Front Porch"

Every house has one, standard issue. All you do is buy your favorite brews and leave them on the porch. Then when you wish to have a iced cold beer just pop out and pick one up. I think it will be all the rage here.

Well while channel surfing this week we saw a drink we had to try.
The Coffee Martini! Well off we dashed to the kitchen. (Dashing in heels is not easy to do either!)

Coffee Martini

Ingredients:

• 7 oz grain vodka
• 1/2 oz Kahlua
• 1/2 oz espresso coffee
• 4 coffee beans, for garnish
• crushed ice

PREPARATION:
Shake vodka with crushed ice for 30 seconds in a cocktail shaker. Add Kahlua and espresso and give a few more shakes to combine. Let stand for a minute, to fully chill through. Strain into 2 chilled martini glasses, adding 2 coffee beans to each glass.

Well, that was nice....but still not up the standards we divas require. So it was time for some experimentation. We started looking at what we had and what we wanted and came up with our newest concoction.

The Speckled Whore

Ingredients:

• 1 oz vanilla vodka
• 2 oz Cream da'Cocoa liqueur
  
• 3 oz coconut coffee creamer (liquid)
  
• grated chocolate
• sugar (we used red colored sugar to spice it up)
  
• crushed ice

PREPARATION:
Place all items in a blender. Blast away. Pour into glasses and enjoy!
