autumnal equinox ~ cheers

Bittersweet Snapper Martini...to toast the Autumnal Equinox

Tomorrow is the Autumnal Equinox and the official end of summer. As a spring/summer person, the back half of the year is not my favorite time. I enjoy the holidays, and college football of course…but I miss the waning daylight.

As Friday is the start of the weekend, tomorrow’s five o’clock moment will include my favorite fall cocktail, a Bittersweet Snapper martini. It’s a variation on the Red Snapper shooter, done martini style. It’s smooth, icy, bitter & sweet, and VERY potent. Slip slowly as it will creep up on you before you know it!

I’ve posted this one before, but I can’t think of a better drink to toast the new season. Cheers y’all. Bluwatergal

Bittersweet Snapper

1 oz Crown Royal whiskey
1 oz Amaretto liqueur
1.5 oz cranberry juice
Add the 3 ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice
Shake vigorously until ice cold
Coat the inside of a martini glass with 2 dashes of bitters
Pour/strain cocktail from shaker to glass
Garnish with a lemon twist
Bitters are a personal choice, and for this cocktail we use Regans’ Orange Bitters No.6. This ingredient really makes a difference, adding just the right bitter & sweet note…which prompted the name of the drink. Welcome to fall.
