One of our Great Dane puppies is black with grey/white spots; she looks kind of like a leopard.

Her name is Tica and, just for fun, I started playing around with the idea of creating a drink recipe in honor of her special look and personality. Suggestions/comments are welcomed.

The Ticatini

Kahlua
Crème de Cacao
Vodka
Cream

Assemble on the rocks or mixed in a c-cktail shaker and poured straight up into a chilled martini glass.

Sounds yummy! I am going to try one this afternoon...

I think it needs some sort of decoration. Just off the cuff, how about a pick of sorts with a mini marshmallow on it? A paper umbrella is too foo foo. A plastic monkey hanging off of the edge isn't right either. Somehow you need to dress it up a bit.
A mini spiked collar around the stem of the martini glass perhaps? I've seen people decorate their glassware with beaded decorations of that sort, so why not make mini beaded dog collars instead?

Can I come over for coctail hour?

Paulina, Excellent Suggestions

How about dusting the rim of the glass with a mixture of cocoa powder and sugar? Sort of a black/white/grey effect.

And, yes, you are welcome to come to c-cktail hour anytime you are Rosarito adjacent.

Chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass, chocolate shavings on the top!!!
