KeKe Key Lime Martini Ingredients

To make this Keke Key Lime Martini recipe, you’ll need:

• Van Gogh Blue Vodka
• KeKe Key Lime Pie Cream Liqueur
• Licor 43 Original
• Lime

Ingredient Notes

Van Gogh Blue Vodkais a vodka made from wheat. The bottle proudly calls it a triple wheat vodka, a reference to the fact that the source of the wheat comes from three different countries: France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Van Gogh Blue Vodka is not harsh but smooth, tasting of mild citrus and contains hidden floral notes.

KeKe Key Lime Pie Cream Liqueur,in its distinctive green florescent bottle, isn’t a mainstay for most home bars. However, its sweet and sour flavor that reproduces the classic Key Lime Pie in alcoholic form is the essential ingredient in this martini recipe. You may have to check out several liquor stores before finding it in stock, so a better option is to order a bottle online if your state allows it.

Licor 43 Originalis one of the most popular spirits from Spain. Although the brand derives its name from its long list of 43 ingredients, the most prominent flavor is vanilla. Despite hints of spice, most people still categorize the spirit as a vanilla liqueur.

Possible Substitutions for the Different Liquor

The alcohol list for this co*cktail is a bit exotic, but you can try these alternatives:

• Finding a direct substitute for KeKe Key Lime Pie Cream Liqueur is a problem, but go ahead andexperiment with Sweet Retreat Key Lime Pie Liqueur or evenBlue Chair Bay Key Lime Rum Cream if you can’t locate a bottle of KeKe’s.
• You can use other wheat vodkas like Grey Goose Vodka or Ketel One instead of Van Gogh Blue.
• Galliano Vanilla is a reasonably good replacement for Licor 43. But if you don’t need the subtleties but just want the vanilla flavor, try making the drink with vanilla vodka, and you can leave out the Licor 43 altogether.

How to Make a Tommy Bahama Key Lime Martini

To mix the co*cktail:
