I’m not familiar with using fruity vodkas in my drinks, so trying vanilla vodka for the first time was a new experience. I found that it added a delicious taste that I really enjoyed. Mixing it with banana liqueur, caramel syrup, and half-and-half cream created a creamy and delicious martini that’s perfect for any time of day.

I didn’t use a Martini cup to serve this Banana Foster Martini, I just used a long smoothie cup, But you can goit fancy and be creative serving it, Also I enjoyed the drink with a slice of banana bread, and I expected that the taste will be so good, as the drink is based on banana taste as well as the bread, So any dessert that is based on banana will make a great duo with the martini.
