You need this recipe to help you get through the holidaze.
Cream cheese, olives, a dab o’ mayonnaise, a few other tasty bits, and then…
Vodka!
What part of martini did you not get?
Though, I guess you might could substitute gin, or mebbe go all Geronimo (my all time fave martini) and add both.
Hmmm.
Just pausing to contemplate a Tito’s and Bombay Sapphire martini this sunny Friday morning…
Anywho, you also could skip the liquor entirely (I call this the “church” version), and you will still end up with a mighty fine cheese spread.
