Nobody is stealing Christmas at Jumby Bay Island, but the beachside Bar & Lounge does serve a tasty tipple called the Grinch Martini. Full of festive season flavours of Irish cream, peppermint and nutmeg, this delicious green cocktail is a refreshing treat to enjoy in a Caribbean paradise that the Grinch will never reach.
Here’s how it’s made…
Ingredients
4 oz. Baileys Irish Cream
½ oz. plus ½ oz. Peppermint Schnapps
Dash of nutmeg
Chilled Martini glass – brown sugar rim optional
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Method
Combine Baileys Irish Cream, ½ oz. Peppermint Schnapps and nutmeg in a cocktail shaker and shake with ice. Pour the other ½ oz. into the bottom of a martini glass. Float the chilled mixture over peppermint Schnapps and garnish with the fresh mint.
If you’re one of the lucky ones to be spending Christmas at Jumby Bay Island this year, don’t forget to try the signature Grinch Martini at the Jumby Bay Bar & Grill. If you’re hosting at home, give this recipe a spin…and make sure you’ve got plenty of backup bottles for refills!
Cheers!
