Ingredients
- 2 ounces vanilla vodka
Vanilla vodka is the star of the show in this recipe—it provides that sweet, comforting vanilla flavor that makes the martini taste like a sugar cookie in a glass. - 1 ounce Irish cream liqueur (or any creamy liqueur of choice)
This adds richness and a touch of sweetness to the drink. It gives the martini that smooth, indulgent texture. - 1 ounce heavy cream
For that creamy, velvety finish. Heavy cream gives this drink its dessert-like quality, making it taste more like a treat than just a regular cocktail. - 1 ounce simple syrup
Simple syrup is essential for adding sweetness. You can easily make your own by combining equal parts sugar and water and heating it until the sugar dissolves. - 1 tablespoon sprinkles or sugar for rimming the glass
This is where the fun begins! Sugar or festive sprinkles on the rim add a sugary crunch that’s reminiscent of a freshly frosted cookie. - Ice
To chill the drink and give it that signature martini texture.
Instructions
- Prepare your glass
Before you even begin mixing, it’s time to prep your glass. Grab a martini glass (or any glass with a wide opening). Pour some sprinkles or sugar onto a small plate. Dip the rim of the glass into a little bit of water or simple syrup, and then dip it into the sprinkles or sugar. Set the glass aside. - Gather your ingredients
Make sure you have everything you need within reach. You’ll need the vodka, Irish cream liqueur, heavy cream, and simple syrup, so line them up on your counter for easy access. - Mix the drink
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, Irish cream liqueur, heavy cream, and simple syrup. Add ice to the shaker, about halfway up. Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. You want the drink to be well-chilled and properly mixed. The ice should create little beads of condensation on the outside of the shaker, which means it’s doing its job! - Strain and pour
Once your cocktail is perfectly shaken, it’s time to strain it into your prepped martini glass. If you have a cocktail strainer, use that to ensure no ice chunks make it into the glass. The drink should be smooth and creamy with a beautiful, frothy top. - Garnish and serve
For an extra touch of fun, you can garnish your martini with a few more sprinkles or a small sugar cookie on the rim. If you want to add a festive flair, a cinnamon stick or a few sugar crystals can make it even more special. Now, all that’s left to do is enjoy!
