Many thanks to Keegan and his staff for being so gracious and sharing their recipe. This might be one of my most favorite cocktails ever…it is simply a must try. Cocktails were served and I am so glad I ordered the Lemon Drop Martini with Vanilla Bean cocktail I’m featuring. We started outdoors with appetizers including fresh fruit, samples of different types of Tillamook Cheese and a favorite item on the restaurant menu, some amazing Tillamook cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. He was gracious and warm and spent time conversing with everyone there and definitely went out of his way to insure that everything was perfect especially the food! I’m sure I speak for our entire group we could not have been more impressed. It’s easy to see why he is successful in those endeavors his comfort in front of our audience was evident. You might know Keegan from his many appearances on the Food Network Challenge programs as the moderator or a judge. Owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Keegan Gerhard & Lisa Bailey, D Bar Desserts was opened in May of 2008 and has been acclaimed every year since. We sampled some Tillamook Cheese, were treated to a tasting of the burger that D Bar Desserts will be making and for me, the highlight of the evening? This…oh my gosh it truly is the Best Lemon Drop Martini! It was a prelude to Tillamook Cheese Loaf Love Tour in Denver that year when four different restaurants featured a specialty burger using Tillamook Cheese. It was 2012 when I was invited to join other local bloggers to participate in a tasting at Denver’s D Bar Desserts. So I made a batch, took some photos and then invited my neighbor Amy over to share a cocktail with me on the back porch…win-win right? As important? When I went to check out the recipe I was hit with just how awful the photos were.
GOOD? These are absolutely excellent a fantastic blend of fresh citrus juice and rind with vodka and vanilla bean.Ī large number of readers have never seen it and that needed correcting it is SO good. I was reminded of this recipe when a neighbor asked if I had a post on the blog for a good Lemon Drop Martini. This is a post I did a couple of years ago that I decided to publish again for a couple of reasons.
