Don't we look festive? I've posted some photos of how we spent New Year's Eve.

What goes into those festive and sumptuous drinks that look like eggnog martinis with chocolate sprinkles?

Those were Melon Collie Martinis. By blowing up the photo of the recipe book to its largest size, I was able to make out the recipe to be:

1/2 shot light rum
1/2 shot Malibu coconut rum
3/4 shot Midori melon
1/4 shot white creme de cacao
1 shot heavy cream
1 shot milk

Shake with ice, strain into chilled glasses, garnish with chocolate.

Reminded me a bit of an upscale grasshopper. De-lish.
