Ingredients

1 graham cracker for garnish, optional
Slice of key lime for garnish, optional
2 ounces vanilla vodka
1 ounce freshly squeezed key lime juice
1 ounce pineapple juice
1 ounce simple syrup
Splash of heavy cream
Ice
Splash of La Croix Key Lime or sparkling water

Instructions

If desired, chill the martini glasses in the freezer. With a rolling pin, crush the graham cracker into fine crumbs. To keep from getting too messy, you can place the graham cracker in a zipped bag for rolling if you'd like. Moisten the rim of a martini glass with a slice of key lime. Spread the graham cracker crumbs onto a plate and invert the martini glass into the crumbs. Twist the glass a few times to help the graham cracker crumbs adhere to the rim. Turn over and add a slice of key lime on the rim.
Pour the vanilla vodka, key lime juice, pineapple juice, simple syrup and heavy cream into a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice, pop on the top and shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds.
Strain into the martini glass. Top with La Croix Key Lime and gently stir. Enjoy!

Notes

To make the simple syrup, simmer the 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently to dissolve the sugar. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from heat. Allow to cool and store chilled.
