Ingredients
Scale
Spirits and Liqueurs
- 2 ounces Pearl Vodka (Black Pearl or Vanilla Bean)
- 2 ounces White Chocolate Liqueur
- 1/2 ounce Hazelnut Liqueur (like Frangelico)
- 1 ounce Butterscotch Schnapps
Dairy and Flavorings
- 3 ounces heavy cream or whole milk (1 shot)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, if not using Pearl Vanilla Bean vodka)
Garnish
- Ground cinnamon, a dash for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the spirits, liqueurs, cream or milk, vanilla extract (if using), and ice into a cocktail shaker. The ice helps chill the drink while diluting slightly for smoothness.
- Shake Well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously until well combined and chilled, about 10-15 seconds.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into two martini glasses. Pour gently to avoid disturbing the chilled layer.
- Garnish: Finish each martini with a light dash of ground cinnamon on top for a warm, aromatic touch.
- Enjoy: Sip and savor this decadent, dessert-inspired cocktail at your leisure.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk for heavy cream to reduce richness slightly.
- Adjust the amount of hazelnut liqueur according to your preferred sweetness and nuttiness.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the vodka and liqueurs with flavored syrups and increase cream or milk.
- Chill martini glasses in the freezer beforehand for an extra cold presentation.
- Add a cinnamon stick as garnish for a decorative touch alongside ground cinnamon dusting.
