Jolly Rancher Martini

This Jolly Rancher Martini was crafted as a part of a sponsored post for Socialstars and Sweet’N Low…..but my obsession with making it AGAIN and AGAIN? All mine! #donthesitasteThis jolly rancher martini is the perfect Halloween cocktail!Now that October is in full swing, I'm gearing up for Halloween.  And what better way to get into the Halloween spirit than with Halloween cocktails?  Parents have to have some fun too after trick-or-treating! A few of our friends will be coming over to trick or treat this year, so I've been experimenting with fun cocktail recipes…..and one of my absolute favorites? A jolly rancher martini!  This sweet cocktail is an ode to one of my favorite treats…..it's delicious and super easy to make (plus it looks amazing)!

Word to the wise, I was concerned about this drink being REALLY sugary.  So, I used Sweet N'Low to make the simple syrup.  It's perfect, it gave me the perfect consistency without adding anymore sugar.

I tried.  It literally felt like torture.  To this day, I’m terrified of being hit by a ball (it made yard duty as a teacher…..a little scary). Somehow, this translated to me believing I wasn’t “athletic” or strong. Here’s to reframing that perspective in my mid 40s.  It’s never too late.May movement bring you joy instead of shame.
