Sugar Cookie Martini Recipe
Introduction
This Sugar Cookie Martini is a delightful cocktail inspired by the sweet flavors of a classic sugar cookie. Creamy, smooth, and just a little festive with a sprinkle-rimmed glass, it’s perfect for celebrations or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
- Vanilla frosting and sprinkles (for rimming the glass)
- 1 ½ ounces vanilla vodka
- 1 ½ ounces Irish cream
- 2 ounces whole milk
- 1 ounce amaretto
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- Ice
Instructions
- Step 1: Spread the vanilla frosting along the rim of a martini glass. For a thicker coating, you can dip the glass directly into the frosting. Then pour the sprinkles into a shallow dish and dip the frosting-covered rim into the sprinkles. Set the glass aside.
- Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, Irish cream, whole milk, amaretto, powdered sugar, and ice. Close the shaker and shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.
- Step 3: Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, sweet flavors.
Tips & Variations
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk. The flavor will remain creamy but lighter.
- Try using flavored sprinkles, like rainbow or holiday-themed, to match the occasion and add extra visual appeal.
- If you prefer a stronger cocktail, reduce the milk slightly or add a splash more vodka.
Storage
This cocktail is best served fresh. If you need to prepare it in advance, mix the ingredients (without ice) and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add ice and shake again before serving to ensure it’s chilled and well blended.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this cocktail without a shaker?
If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use a jar with a tight-fitting lid to shake the ingredients. Alternatively, stir the mixture thoroughly with ice in a glass until well chilled.
What can I use instead of vanilla vodka?
If vanilla vodka isn’t available, regular vodka with a splash of vanilla extract can be a good substitute. Start with a few drops of vanilla extract and adjust to taste.
