re-post: Where the rubber meets the road... ME on TV!

I've media trained dozens of people...

Here's where I try to remember it all... Oh - and a tasty drink recipe too on a great local program called "Style"

I've tried and tried to embed the video - but cannot seem to make it work...so, here's the link

Thanks to the GREAT folks at WBIR in Knoxville...and to my stellar helper Dejie Johnson!

I hope this is the first of many TV appearances - it was really fun and, frankly, deep down I've always thought I should be on TV.

THE RECIPE
The Chalmers Hot Mama Martini
This kicky drink is an uncommon way to unwind after a hot, stressful day – or a great way to end a spicy Latin-inspired meal and features Chalmers Mucho Mayan Spice Ganache. The recipe is kicked up a notch with vanilla soy milk and by the addition of a splash of spicy, cinnamon schnapps.

Chalmers’ Hot Mama Martini

Ingredients
handful of ice
1 oz. Dekuyper Hot Damn Cinnamon Schnapps, to taste
3 oz. vodka
4 oz. Spicy Chalmers Ganache Milk Base (recipe below)
cinnamon stick, to garnish
Instruction
Fill a cocktail shaker half full of ice. Add schnapps and vodka. Fill to 1 or 2 inches from the top of the shaker with spicy milk base, to taste. Put the lid on and shake well. Strain into a cold martini glass and garnish with cinnamon sticks.

Spicy Chalmers Ganache Milk Base

Ingredients
Chalmers Chocolate Mucho Mayan Spice Ganache
Vanilla soy milk
Instruction
For the base (also chocolate milk drinks), heat approximately 2 heaping tablespoons Chalmers Mucho Mayan Spice
Ganache to 1-2 cups soy milk, to taste, in a saucepan, stirring constantly until thoroughly combined. Cool completely.
Chocolate milk base can be stored in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Give it a stir when ready to serve.

TIP: This chocolatey base can be made ahead and used in any drink in place of chocolate milk

CHEERS!
