Ingredients To Make Sugar Cookie Martini
Baileys Original Irish Cream – is one of life’s most pleasurable indulgences! Bailey’s signature sip is the sweetest meeting of fine Irish whiskey and spirits, Irish dairy cream, and rich chocolate and vanilla flavors. Baileys adds a gorgeous, creamy texture to this cocktail and a beyond delicious taste!
Vanilla Vodka – is a must for those wanting to make a good dessert martini! Just a splash adds an extra bit of sweetness and a noticeable yet pleasant kick.
White Chocolate Liqueur – is the secret ingredient here! This liqueur is smooth and sweet and takes things to the next level by adding a subtle chocolate flavor.
Whole Milk – adds the necessary richness while still helping to thin out the mixture a bit. If you don’t have any on hand, use a milk of your choice.
Ice (Cubed and Crushed) – is essential to creating an ice-cold, refreshing cocktail!
Whipped Vanilla Frosting & Sprinkles – make for a fun, festive sip! I used a store-bought whipped frosting and some red and green sprinkles to make things super simple. You might have to use a butter knife to really spread icing on any bare spots. Be sure to give those glasses a generous dip in any cheery jimmies of your choice!
How To Make A Sugar Cookie Martini
Frost & Sprinkle Like a Boss: First up, grab a small offset spatula (or just a butter knife if you’re freestylin’) and slather a nice thin layer of whipped vanilla frosting around the rim of two martini glasses. It’s the sticky runway for our next star… the sprinkles! Pour about ¼ cup of those colorful bad boys onto a small plate or bowl, then dip and roll those rims until they’re living their best, most festive lives.
Shake Things Up! Now, let’s get to the star of the show – the liquid goodness! In a cocktail shaker, pour in the milk, Irish cream, vodka, and amaretto. This is where the magic happens, folks. Toss in some ice and then shake it like you’re jingling all the way! Keep going until everything’s mixed up nice and chill.
Pour, Sip, Celebrate! You’re on the home stretch now! Pour that frosty, creamy dream into your sprinkle-rimmed glasses, and voilà! You’ve just brought the dessert table to the bar!
