It’s National Peaches & Cream Day.  How do I know this?  Because I follow this insanely cool lady who in between keeping up with her three kids, manages to find (make) time for date nights, cocktails, and all those off the wall holidays.  Like National Food on a Stick Day, which is precisely how we met.  This lady is MomSoPolitan.  You’ll want to follow her too.

Regarding this Peaches & Cream Martini.
It’s become my No. 3 favorite peach recipe ever, just behind a Malted Peach Frappe and Peach Cobbler.

When I discovered it was National Pie Day I also discovered that I do not have a single “Pie” recipe on Lemony Thyme.  I like pies, on occasion or for an occasion.  But I’m not drawn to them.  Pie crust on the other hand speaks to me.  And filled with something savory…well that’s when a pie becomes personal.  All that being said, I’m sharing a Boston Cream Pie Martini today.  Go figure.

1 oz. Vanilla Vodka

1 oz. Chocolate Liqueur (such as Godiva)

1 oz. Irish Cream (such as Bailey’s or Saint Brendan’s)

Combine ingredients and chill 30 minutes.  Serve in a chocolate rimmed martini glass for an after dinner cocktail or dessert.
