Sugar Cookie Martini
Taste the holidays with this creamy Sugar Cookie Martini! A festive blend of vanilla vodka, Irish cream, and amaretto with a fun sprinkle rim, ready in just 5 minutes. Perfect for any party.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Martini glass
Ingredients
For Rimming
- Vanilla frosting and sprinkles for rimming the glass
For the Martini
- 1 ½ ounce vanilla vodka
- 1 ½ ounces Irish cream
- 2 ounces whole milk
- 1 ounce amaretto
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- Ice
Instructions
- Coat the rim of a martini glass with vanilla frosting, then dip the rim into sprinkles spread on a shallow plate and set the glass aside. The frosting should look smooth and even, with enough grip to hold the sprinkles without sliding down the glass.
- Add the vanilla vodka, Irish cream, whole milk, amaretto, powdered sugar, and ice to a cocktail shaker, seal it, and shake for at least 15 seconds. The shaker should feel very cold in your hands, and the mixture should look lightly foamy and fully blended.
- Strain or pour the cocktail into the prepared glass and serve right away. You should catch a quick whiff of vanilla and almond as the frothy drink hits the glass.
Notes
Flavor Variations: For a spiced cookie version, try using RumChata instead of Irish cream. To make it a white chocolate martini, substitute the amaretto with white chocolate liqueur.
Dairy-Free Option: Use a dairy-free cream liqueur and creamy oat milk for a vegan-friendly version. Serve immediately as some plant-based milks can separate.
Perfect Rim Tip: For a neat, non-dripping sprinkle rim, use a thin layer of thick frosting on a chilled glass. This helps the rim set quickly.
Batching for a Party: To make a large batch, combine all liquid ingredients and powdered sugar in a pitcher and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving, then shake individual portions with ice to get the classic frothy texture.
