Shake up some fun!! – Kathy Casey<\/p>\n

Modern Martini<\/strong>
\nTraditionally drinks with all spirits are stirred \u2013 but I like my martini\u2019s really cold and shaken really well!<\/p>\n

Makes 1 drink<\/p>\n

wash of dry vermouth
\n3 oz gin or vodka
\nGarnish: lemon zest twist or olive<\/p>\n

Fill a small martini glass with ice and a splash of water to chill. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, roll the vermouth around in a mixing glass, then shake out any excess. Fill with ice. Measure in the gin or vodka. Cap and shake\u2014at least 15 times\u2014until very cold.<\/p>\n

Empty the ice from the martini glass. Strain the drink into the glass. Garnish as desired.<\/p>\n

B&W \u00a0Olive Cheese Poppers<\/strong>
\nFor a cocktail party I like to serve these in large martini glasses.<\/p>\n

Makes 20 to 25 poppers<\/p>\n

1 cup (4 ounces) finely grated, sharp Cheddar cheese
\n2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
\n1\/2 cup flour
\ndash cayenne
\n20 to 25 medium-large pimento-stuffed olives, drained
\n1\/3 cup mixed white and black sesame seeds<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

Beat the cheese and butter together, in a mixer or food processor, until smooth. Stir in the flour and cayenne. Mix until dough is smooth. (If crumbly mix in 1 teaspoon of water.) Shape 1 heaping teaspoon of dough around each olive, covering it well and shaping the dough into a ball. Place sesame seeds in a small bowl. Roll each ball in the sesame seeds and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Serve hot.<\/p>\n
