Oh My Darling creates fun and tasty Nutcracker-inspired drinks

By Katie Hopsicker

Oh My Darling is getting festive with the Sugar Plum Martini (left in picture) and the Nutcracker-tini (right in picture), named after the Syracuse City Ballet's Nutcracker performances. Both drinks feature immaculate presentation, quality ingredients, and holiday flavors.

The Sugar Plum Martini is made with vodka, amaretto liqueur, cranberry, and lemon, with a sugared cranberry garnish. It's a drink that tastes just as delicious as it looks, with a sweet and strong lemon flavor. Overall, the martini is similar to a cosmopolitan, if cranberry flavored.

The Nutcracker-tini is made with vodka, Irish cream, butter cookie syrup, half and half, whipped cream, and usually has a graham cracker crumble on top. At first sip, the taste of vodka is overpowering, but for a cream-based cocktail it is very light. Butter cookie syrup is the magic ingredient for this liquid marshmallow.

Each drink is very tasty and perfect for the holidays. Oh My Darling is located at 321 S Salina Street in Syracuse.
