Pecan Pie Martinis start with Pecan trees!
Over 80% of the world’s Pecan crop comes from the US. Albany, Georgia boasts over 600,000 pecan trees. The Pecan is heart-healthy with antioxidants, 19 vitamins and minerals, and healthy fat.
Wow, Great to have healthy notes in our creamy and delicious Martini!
It is thought that the Pecan pie was created by the industrious French of New Orleans. Although the earliest known recipes come from Texas.
While the pie was around in the late 1800s, a Pecan Pie recipe on the back of Karo syrup made it mainstream.

Martinis feature Vodka, but dessert Martini’s may contain additional flavors and liqueurs. In addition they generally feature imaginative and tasty rims.
