Key Lime Martini

How can you go wrong with a martini? So many different kinds, and such little time! This key lime martini is one you will be sitting around and saying "It's five o'clock somewhere"! The hard part about finding a good recipe for a key lime martini, is either their too sweet or too tart. My mother, a martini connoisseur, was dedicated to the cause to come up with the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Like a trooper she sampled dozens of martini's figuring out how much of each ingredient should be used. It was a tough assignment, but someone had to do it! Like all good mom's she did not disappoint her daughter! She had me over to her house, to reveal her delicious concoction. With a shaker in one hand, and a glass in another, I knew she meant business! I had to get serious, if I was going to give some honest feedback. She poured me the nicely chilled frothy beverage, and I began to sip! It was creamy goodness, the flavors complimented each other perfectly! It was just like having a piece of key lime pie from Southwest Florida! Made you wonder if Jimmy Buffet could come over and play a little tune! With smiles on our faces, we looked at each other and said "this is a keeper"! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
