Rimmed with marshmallow creme and graham cracker crumbs, you'll be in heaven by the time your lips touch the glass.

S'moretini
Ingredients
  • 1 ounces vodka

  • 16 ounces chocolate liqueur (we used E & J ® Cask & Cream Chocolate Temptation)

  • 1 64- ounce pitcher

  • 1 graham cracker  

  • 1 jar marshmallow creme (we like Marshmallow Fluff ®)  

  • 16 martini glasses (disposable versions available at party stores)  

  • 1 bag wooden skewers  

  • 1 bag miniature marshmallows  

Steps
  • Pour vodka and chocolate liqueur into pitcher and stir. Refrigerate for at least several hours until the mixture is very cold.

  • Crush a graham cracker in a plastic bag, then pour the crumbs into a small bowl.

  • Dip a finger into the jar of marshmallow creme, then run it around the rims of your martini glasses to lightly coat. Next, dip each glass into the bowl of graham cracker crumbs and shake the bowl gently to cover the marshmallow creme with crumbs. (You can do this the night before the party and stick the prepared glasses in the freezer if you like.)

  • If you have a grill going (or even better, a firepit or chimenea), offer each guest a wooden skewer and three mini marshmallows to toast over the flame (put the grill on high for the best browning). Note: Although the skewer package may advise soaking the skewers in water for at least 20 minutes, it's not necessary for this recipe.

  • Pour about 3 ounces of the drink mixture into each of the prepared glasses and serve, letting each guest slide their roasted marshmallows into their drink for garnish.Recipe courtesy of evite.com

The best way to get the most out of your camp-fire- roast marshmallows- Here's what to do with them.

Top 5 Summer S'More Idea
  1. Set up a S'more Bar

    Have a group of family or friends over for an evening of eating s'mores and sharing stories. Create a self-serve s'more bar by laying out all of the extra goodies anyone could possibly want. To coax your guests out of a traditional s'more rut, print up some delicious twists on the traditional s'more and place them at your table in picture frames

  2. Serve Up a S'more-tini

    The summery goodness of a s'more needn't be restricted to food -- share the wealth and serve guests a yummy campfire cocktail. The S'moretini is a perfect dessert drink to serve guests just before Fourth of July fireworks, or after a delicious backyard barbeque .
    Expert Tip: You can make a kid-friendly version of this recipe (below) by substituting lowfat milk for the vodka.

  3. S'mores go to France

    The S'more Crepe Your guests will be saying "Ooh-la-la!" when you serve up this twist on the traditional American s'more. To create the S'more Crepe, simply fill a regular hot crepe with chunks of graham cracker and nutella (or other chocolate spread) and top it off with a heaping spoonful of warm marshmallow fluff. Drizzle the mouth-watering concoction with a bit of warm fudge and voila: you have yourself a S'more crepe.

  4. S'more Ice Cream Sundaes

    Why trek to the ice cream store when you can make an awesome S'more Sundae at home? This is a great treat to make with the whole family or for a kid's party since it's quick and easy to make. The only prep you need to do beforehand is to freeze a slab or stone cutting board overnight. You can also pre-crush the graham crackers if you prefer not to deal with the possible mess while creating the sundaes.

  5. S'more Cake, Please!

    The great thing about a S'more Cake is that it's easy to serve and doesn't have the same mess-making potential as regular s'mores. Your guests also don't have to worry about burning marshmallows -- or their tongues! Serve it à la mode with Vanilla and Fudge ice cream to really wow partygoers.
