Make an chocolate almond coconut martini (Almond Joy martini) with just a few simple ingredients-and it's low carb, too!
Chocolate Almond Coconut Martini
Dessert cocktails are marvelous (Blackberry Cobbler, anyone?), and candy bar cocktails simply take it to the next level.
I found this one in the new cookbook Keto Junk Food by Faith Gorsky and Lara Clevenger.
The amazing thing about it is that it's candy-flavored yet free of sweeteners, making it both low-carb and keto.
That's a running theme in Keto Junk Food: making food that looks like it's naughty, when in fact it's nice.
The cookbook includes a solid introduction to the keto diet and a handy guide to ingredients before you dive into the recipes, which include brunch, hot sandwiches, pizzas, Asian takeout, and Latin food.
Then there are three whole chapters that cover sweets: a chapter on baked goods, a chapter on ice cream, and a cocktail chapter.
That's the chapter where you'll find this Almond Joy-flavored cocktail.
All you need are vodka, coconut extract, chocolate extract, almond extract, and heavy whipping cream!
