I'm sorry, I couldn't pass up the shaking in the directions there. It was just too easy. So while I did have all of the ingredients necessary to make this, guess what I didn't have? Yep, a martini glass. See, I'm not really a martini drinker so when my mom offered up some storage space in her garage, the martini glasses were the first in the boxes to head on over. Which resulted in me running out to the dollar store and purchasing a single martini glass. Hey, whatever works, right?

I'm not a big martini girl, but these are DAMN TASTY! And with the whipped cream vodka, you almost can't tell that you're drinking something alcoholic. Until, you know, you stand up. So fair warning!
