Velveeta Martini…Oh It’s A Thing

There’s no mac-and-cheese more divisive than Velveeta.  And now, there’s no cocktail more divisive than the VELTINI. Which, brace yourself, is a cocktail made from Velveeta.  A LOT of Velveeta….

There's no mac-and-cheese more divisive than Velveeta.  And now, there's no cocktail more divisive than the VELTINI.

Which, brace yourself, is a cocktail made from Velveeta.  A LOT of Velveeta.

It features Velveeta cheese-infused vodka . . . an olive brine . . . and dry vermouth.  It's garnished with Velveeta-stuffed olives . . . jumbo-size Velveeta cheese shells . . . and there's a "cheese drip" along the brim of the glass.

If that sounds nasty to you, you probably shouldn't see a photo of it.

This "drink" is available at select BLT Steak restaurants for a limited time, but if you can't make it, Goldbelly has $50 Veltini meal kits, complete with glasses and a shaker.  Or, if you're REALLY ambitious, you can probably DIY-it with a box of Velveeta mac-and-cheese.

Could be worse. Remember some of the drinks we hammered back in the day?
