The ultimate comfort cocktail, and a beautiful way to celebrate the season.
So where does all this decadent goodness come from?
It starts with Pecan trees!
Over 80% of the world’s Pecan crop comes from the US, with Albany, Georgia boasting 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, though 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 propelled it into the mainstream.
Dessert Martinis
Now we get to the Martini! Some say the cocktail came from a drink called the Martinez, from the town of Martinez, California- establishing itself around the time of the Gold rush. Dessert martinis are a pretty recent phenomenon, but it is truly fun to add our favorite flavors into a Martini glass. This magical mixture is festive for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or any holiday party – OR make this Martini any day you need a dessert cocktail!
