Cajun New Year's Delights + New Year's Boogie

Here's a favorite Cajun drink that is perfect for ringing in the New Year if champagne isn't your thing. It has a bit of a bite to it, but is oh so good! Enjoy! Cheers!

Cajun Dirty Martini

1 ounce Absolute peppar vodka
2 ounces vodka, cold
1 dash dry vermouth
2 large jalapeno-stuffed green olives
1 Trappey's white Tabasco chili pepper
1 dash olive juice (to taste)
crushed ice

Mix vodkas, vermouth, and olive juice with ice into cocktail shaker and blend for 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with jalapeno stuffed olive.

And here are a few of my favorite New Years Eve delights that I wanted to share with ya'll. I will be having guests over for a little "before the dance" New Year's Eve party,  that we're all going to. Worth every calorie, cher, so go ahead and indulge and enjoy! Cheers!

 Mini Muffalettas

24 count, mini Muffaletta rolls or dinner rolls
1 jar Italian olive salad
1 lb. smoked ham, sliced thin
1/2 lb. provolone cheese slices, sliced thin
1/2 lb. hard salami, sliced thin
Creole or Dijon mustard
1 small onion, sliced thin

Slice rolls in half and place, inside up, on large cookie sheet. Spread the top half of rolls with Creole mustard and bottom half with olive salad. Layer salami, cheese, double layer of ham,  and onion, on top of olive salad. Top with roll. Serve cold or cover with a tent of foil and place in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes or until cheese melts. So easy!  Enjoy!

Before I make the bourbon brownies can you verify there is only 1/4 cup of flour in this recipe. That just seems like a very small amount of flour. Thanks!

Cajun Dirty Martini? Just wondered if there was a Cajun Clean Martini and what the difference is. I'll have one of each for my two personalities?? LOL The food looks wonderful and your guests are really fortunate to have such wonderful nosh!

A very Happy New Year to you, Marguerite from your bloggy buddy from across the pond.
