Wowsers.
That's all I'm going to say.
I decided to make Christmas 2011, the year of the cocktail. I found this recipe for Black Forest Martini in Nigella Christmas and loving all things Black Forest, I thought I'd give it a go.
Checking down the ingredients list, I already had all the necessary tipples so I went for it.
Let me just say, Nigella must be a complete LUSH! Wow, this is strong. Clearly if you check the list there are no mixers in this - I need a mixer! No way I can drink pure alcohol (anymore). Whilst quite like the taste and loving the smell, I couldn't finish this drink. I mean if I had, I wouldn't have been having a second, unless I could drink it lying half-comatose flat out on my back on the floor.
Black Forest Martini
Ingredients
ice cubes
1 part vodka
1 part cherry brandy
1/2 part creme de cacao
Method
To make one drink, put at least three ice cubes into a martini glass. Make your drink over the ice using a 25ml measure per part.
Now go forth and try.
If you're brave enough.
love & kisses

I am also a big fan of anything black forest, and this sounds delicious to me. Perhaps you could just lie on the floor and drink through a straw? Lol.
I think you would be lying on the floor after one sniff anyway, so it's a good plan!
I'm not man enough for brandy AND this looks lovely! Your photo is so festive.
This looks absolutely amazing. Being a complete lush I'm ashamed to say I probably could manage this. But I'd probably need a lie down after more than three... :)

That sounds like quite a drink! I tried the Poinsettia from a Christmas book a couple of years ago and that was really good.
OMG sounds so divine and lush...I've come over all giddy!
Blimey! Sounds ace!
I bet you she thinks the ice the mixer. I would totally drink it all.

I can't believe I missed the boat on this one. Only just read the post and presume having a black forest martini in dreary Jan is a bit too glam?
