Most people know The Melting Pot for their delicious sweet and savory choices of fondue but did you know they also have an extensive specialty drink menu? In my opinion, there is no better way to start off a memorable meal than with a martini! My favorite has to be the Love Martini, a tasty concoction of Coconut Rum, Peach Schnapps, and Cranberry Juice! Not too strong, not too sweet….just right! Whether you are out with your girlfriends or your special someone, this drink will definitely make you feel all warm and cozy inside! Check out the recipe below.
Love Martini
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 ounce coconut flavored Rum (I recommend Malibu Rum)
- 1 ounce Peach Schnapps
- 2 ounces Cranberry Juice
- 1 strawberry, for garnish
Directions:
- Remove the stem from the strawberry. Slice the strawberry and cut a small “V” in the top of each slice to create a heart shape.
- Place several ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and add the rum, schnapps, and cranberry juice.
- Shake until chilled.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the strawberry slices, so they are floating on top.

I would love to win. Have never been to melting pot. This would really help.
I have recently moved to the Houston area from Colorado. I loved visiting the Melting Pot in Louisville and Littleton. I would love to visit you in Houston and win a gift card. I may have to visit for my birthday. They used to send me birthday gifts of chocolate covered strawberries. Do you still do that?
Hi Suzanne. Thanks for commenting! The giveaway is over but good news- sign up for The Melting Pot emails and they do send you chocolate strawberries for your birthday.
