Happy Birthday, Oreo Cookie!

Oh a kid'll eat the middle of an Oreo cookie and save the chocolate cookie outside for last!
Wow! Oreo's are 100! Have a cookie (or two) and pour a drink to celebrate!

I found this bit of Oreo® trivia interesting: The tiny pattern pressed into the wafer is a combination of 12 flowers (each made of 4 triangles), 37 dots, and 12 dashes. Each cookie also has 90 ridges running along its edges. Huh. 
 
Oreo Cocktail
What you'll need:
1 oz. Kahlua®
1 oz. Crème de Cacao
1 oz. Bailey's
1 splash Vodka 
Shot or shooter glass


How you'll build it:
Carefully layer the kahlua, creme de cacao, and Bailey's into a shot glass. Top with a splash of a vodka float.
OR 
Build as a martini.
Same ingredients as above but make as a martini (serve in a martini glass) and an Oreo® cookie garnish.

Fill shaker with vodka, Kahlua®, crème de cacao and Bailey's® and shake well. Strain into martini glass. Garnish with an Oreo®
 If you're in the mood to get out the blender and have a frothier libation, Oreos® make a tasty addition to the classic Mudslide blend. It only takes one Oreo® per drink to imbue the drink with enough Oreo® flavor.
