If you are feeling the Mad Men love, why not try this 1960's classic pink cocktail favorite.   I can just hear Betty Draper ordering it now... Just try not to crack a smile when you order this drink.  I know it might be hard with a name like Pink Squirrel... heehee ~ Nope, I couldn't keep a straight face either.

INGREDIENTS
¾ oz crème de noyaux
¾ oz crème de cacao
½ oz vodka
1 oz fresh cream

Pour all over ice in mixing glass. Stir and serve in martini glass.

A perfect match ~ made in heaven ~ if ever there was one!  Strawberry jam makes this such a fun & tasty treat for those who are too young to drink, or for those who are just young at heart....
