The key lime martini with vanilla syrup falls into this category sincemost versions have the flavor of creamy key lime pie.
Early key lime martini recipes used simple syrup, a bar staple, to balance the bite of the key lime juice.
In the past couple of decades, commercially-produced flavored syrups like Torani became widely available, and many key lime martini recipes nowcall forvanilla syrup rather than simple syrup.
Most key lime martini recipes include some type of cream or dairy product to replicate the look of traditional key lime pie.
