Peep Week 2010 - Day 6

It's Saturday. It's been a long week. Why not unwind with a Peeptini? Yep, you read me right. Your mind is swirling with questions, right? Hopefully, this video will answer them. Check it out.

Yellow Peep Sugar

1 cup granulated sugar 4 to 5 drops yellow food coloring

Put the cup of sugar in a ziplock bag and add the food coloring. Massage until the color is mixed evently throughout the sugar. Leave the bag open for a couple of hours, massaging occasionally.

Peeptini

3 oz Stoli Vanilla Vodka 1 oz Creme de Cocoa (white)

Spread a layer of yellow peep sugar on a saucer. On a second saucer, pour some Creme de Cocoa. Place the rim of your martini glass in the Creme de Cocoa and then onto the plate of sugar. Set aside. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the liquor and shake until the outside of the shaker is icy cold. Strain into the martini glass and garnish with a peep on a stick. Enjoy!

I'd like to thank Grace Yip from Grace the Spot for coming up with this recipe. She endured numerous peep-related Facebook messages with patience. And, she never mocked me once which is pretty remarkable. Apparently, it takes a village of lesbians to make a peeptini!
