The last time someone asked me to try their sweet creamy nuts, I had to make certain they were talking to the right person (they weren’t). But luckily this time it meant trying Armando’s XO Sweetspot Martini. The best bartender in the nation has done it again by crafting another tasty concoction to impress your friends. Invite your guests over and have them bring the ingredients below. It’s the best way to enjoy a drink for the rich without spending like the rich. The coffee creaminess is like love in a glass and the pistachios will leave you green with envy. No need to go out for $9 beer night. Stay in and get nutty.

The Host: Pyrat XO Rum
Guest 1: Patron XO Cafe
Guest 2: Amoretti Crème Di Pistachio
Guest 3: Chocolate Syrup & Cream
Guest 4: Pistachios

HOW TO MAKE IT:
Shake 1oz Pyrat XO Rum, 1oz Patron Café XO, 1oz Amoretti Pistachio Syrup and ½oz Cream, strain and pour into a chocolate swirled cocktail glass rimmed with ground pistachios.
