Snickerdoodle Martini
This Snickerdoodle Martini is a creamy, cinnamon-sugar cocktail inspired by the beloved holiday cookie. Perfect for festive gatherings or cozy nights in, it combines vanilla vodka, Irish cream, cinnamon schnapps (or RumChata), and heavy cream, creating a rich, indulgent treat served in a cinnamon-sugar-rimmed glass.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz vanilla vodka
- 1 oz Irish cream liqueur e.g., Baileys
- 1 oz cinnamon schnapps or RumChata
- ½ oz heavy cream
- Cinnamon sugar for rimming the glass
- Cinnamon stick whipped cream, or ground cinnamon (Optional garnish)
Instructions
- Pour a small amount of water, simple syrup, or Irish cream onto a plate.
- Dip the rim of a martini glass into the liquid, then into a plate of cinnamon sugar to coat the rim.
- Chill the prepared glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes for an extra frosty touch.
- In a cocktail shaker, add: 1 ½ oz vanilla vodka, 1 oz Irish cream liqueur, 1 oz cinnamon schnapps or RumChata, ½ oz heavy cream
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice.
- Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until the shaker feels ice-cold to the touch. This ensures the cocktail is well-chilled and creamy.
- Using a cocktail strainer, pour the cocktail into the prepared martini glass. Be careful not to disturb the cinnamon sugar rim.
- Add optional garnishes such as a cinnamon stick, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for a festive finishing touch.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Tips for Success:
- Adjust sweetness by adding a splash of simple syrup or extra Irish cream if desired.
