Bucky - Squirrel Speak Tutor

 (Hazelnut S'mores Martini)

The set 4 metagame is starting to shape itself out, and one of the most dominant cards in the format has emerged: the terrifying Bucky - Squirrel Speak Tutor! Combined with a flurry of new Floodborn cards (spoilers for our next post?), Bucky can tear apart your opponent's hand and leave them with no answer to your adorable little menace. 

Here we have drawn from Bucky's identity as a squirrel scout to present a Hazelnut S'mores Martini. Nothing screams scouting like a campfire, and what better way to spend a campfire than roasting s'mores and indulging in sweets. The addition of hazelnut provides a nod to Bucky's... squirrelness (C'mon, he's literally holding a nut in the art.) and makes for a delicious pairing with the drink's chocolate base.

Recipe
3/4 oz Vodka
1.5 oz Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur
2.5 oz Chocolate cream (see below)
Dark chocolate (for garnish)
Graham crackers (crushed, for garnish)
Marshmallows (for garnish)

Melt dark chocolate and brush along the rim of a martini glass. Pour crushed graham crackers onto a plate and invert the glass to coat the chocolate rim.

Add all liquid ingredients with ice to a shaker, and shake to combine. Strain into the prepared martini glass and garnish with a toasted marshmallow.

Chocolate Cream
1 cup half and half
2 tbps white sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder

Combine ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved. Do not allow milk to scald. Take off heat and allow mixture to cool before using.
