Thanks Lynda for letting us know that you got such a quick response and it actually matched the cocktail booklet on Princess.

Good luck in getting a response! I requested a recipe almost a year ago and have yet to receive a reply.

 

Princess actually sent me an email with the Stardust Martini Recipe. They replied in 48hrs.

 

2oz Grey Goose

2oz House Pouring (I guess this is cheap champagne)

1/2 oz sugar syrup

8 Red Grapes

 

muddle grapes and sugar syrup

shake vigorously

strain and serve in a pre-chilled martini glass

garnish with 3 grapes

Sugar Rim of glass

Thanks I am trying it tonight!!! The simple syrup will definatly make it sweeter, glad I checked here again!

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

I am making the Toasted Almond Martini for friends tonight. I made one just to try before they get here and it is absolutely delicious. Tastes just like the one I had on board. I used half and half instead of heavy cream. Could not tell the difference. The martini glasses are chilling in the freezer. Can't wait to surprise my friends! Will let you know how everything worked out when I post tomorrow. :D Happy New Year, everyone!

We love the toasted almond. My husband now makes it and drizzles dark chocolate syrup in the glass before pouring. They are even better with this touch!

[Lynda90]

The martinis were a huge success. I put hot chocolate powder in a shaker and sprinkled the top of the martini with the chocolate. OMG, everyone loved them. Recipes were passed along to all! :p

:pI use 2 ounces of vodka then 1 each of Baileys, Kahlua and Amaretto.

Oh dear, I need to try one of these. Thanks for starting this thread Lynda!

I loved the Toasted Almond Martini the bartender was making at Secrets when we were at SMB.

 

On the Coral Princess, we ordered them, and made sure to ask that they use top shelf, like Grey Goose Vodka, and they were very alcoholic, strong and more bitter. Hhhhmmmm???

 

Maybe we do not like the particular recipe that Princess uses.

The ones at SMB were so good I could drink them like chocolate milk for breakfast in the morning!

Not sure if they are still available but we bought a few souvenir decks of playing cards at Crooners. There was a different recipe on each card. I gave a deck to each of our sons. I have one but it's never been opened. You can actually purchase a deck on ebay if you are interested. I entered the string "princess cruises playing cards with drink recipes" and found one. You could also look for Tee Many Martoonies as that is the name of the deck sold at Crooners.

Thank you Near PDX. I just requested the recipe for the Stardust Martini.

 

 

A few years ago I won a deck of cards onboard that had many of the martini recipes. Unfortunately it didn't have the Toasted Almond but did have the Stardust: 2 oz Grey Goose Vodka, 2 oz Sparkling Wine/Champagne, 1/2 oz Sugar Syrup & Red Grapes. Chilled over ice and strained. Garnish with the grapes. Hmm - sounds good!

I'm mostly a scotch, bourbon, or rye drinker and have never been a real big martini drinker but the Chairman of the Board is sooooooooooo good.

3 parts Grey Goose Vodka

Rim the glass with a twist then use as garnish
