Ladies Grilled Cheese & Martini Night

“There are exactly as many special occasions in life as we choose to celebrate.”~R.B.

Friends, Grilled Cheese & Martinis are the Trifecta of Perfection! In this day and age when our lives are so centered around work, kids, home and whatever else life throws at us, a night in with the ladies—sharing stories, providing guidance and most importantly supporting each other, is a reason to really celebrate and go all out for. As with planning any gathering it all starts with the master list: Who, What, When & Where.

1. Who-is your Ladies VIP guest list of course.
2. What-is the deliciousness you will have on your menu.
3. When-will determine what you serve on your menu. For example, an evening gathering, after dinner time might lend itself to a more casual tapas style menu. On this occasion that was different grilled cheeses’ & martinis. 
4. Where-“in” of course to create an atmosphere of cozy togetherness and camaraderie. Maybe you can rotate or take turns hosting to truly let your hosting style shine.

Ok, so let’s get back to the “what“, from number 2, this article is dedicated to: Grilled Cheese & Martinis. At the end of this article I have included my recipe for The Perfect “Grilled Cheese”. The beauty of this recipe is it can really be customized to so many individual tastes. I am going to let the visuals do the talking for me.

Recipe Note: The Grilled Cheese Pound Cake with Cheesecake Filling is prepared by buttering the sliced poundcake, adding softened cheesecake between two slices and broiling on high for 1-2 minutes per side, watching them closely so they don’t burn.

Martini Note: Martinis come in all different varieties. For this occasion I made my version of the Lemondrop Martini: 2-4 ounces of citrus vodka; 2-4 ounces of fresh squeezed lemon juice; a splash of gingerale or sprite. Yellow sprinkles and lemon wedge to garnish. This is another way to really be able to customize to your guest’s tastes. Have fun with it! I love to make my own homemade flavored vodkas, click on hyperlink for my how to’s.

Well there you have it! A great time was had by all on this Ladies Grilled Cheese & Martini Night and we all agreed what was talked about at Ladies Grilled Cheese & Martini Night stays at Ladies Grilled Cheese & Martini Night. Trifecta of Perfection.  😉
