Confetti Cream Martini


              Inspired by all of the fabulous, Vegas Cocktails...I felt inspired to come home
             and create a beautiful, classy and very girlie drink. This is going to be such a
             great treat for you or your guests. It's like a creamy dessert with a kick. Cheers.

                                                          Confetti Cream Martini

             1 1/2 ounces half and half
             1 ounce spiced rum
             1/2 or 1 ounce butterscotch schnapps
             1/2 ounce vanilla schnapps or vanilla vodka
             ice cubes
             candy confetti

            In a cocktail shaker, combine half and half, rum butterscotch schnapps and vanilla
            schnapps. Add ice cover and shake until very cold. Strain into a chilled martini
            glass. Garnish rim with confetti or sprinkle on top. Note this is for one glass...you
            may want to triple the recipe.
