Ingredients:
- 2 ounces chocolate vodka (or vanilla vodka with chocolate syrup)
- 1 ounce marshmallow vodka (or vanilla vodka with marshmallow fluff)
- 1/2 ounce graham cracker liqueur (or use a flavored liqueur you enjoy, like coffee or hazelnut)
- 2 dashes chocolate bitters
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Mini marshmallows, for garnish
- Crushed graham crackers, for garnish
Instructions:
- Chill your martini glasses: Place your martini glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before making the cocktail. This will keep your drink extra cold and prevent it from watering down too quickly. This simple step elevates the drinking experience.
- Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the chocolate vodka, marshmallow vodka, graham cracker liqueur, and chocolate bitters.
- Shake vigorously: Close the lid tightly and shake well for about 15-20 seconds until the shaker is thoroughly chilled. This ensures proper mixing and a nice frothy texture.
- Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into your chilled martini glasses.
- Garnish: Top each martini with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of mini marshmallows, and a rim of crushed graham crackers.
Tips for the Best S'mores Martini:
- High-quality ingredients: Using good quality vodka and liqueurs will significantly enhance the flavor of your cocktail.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet martini, reduce the amount of marshmallow vodka or liqueur. Conversely, add more for extra sweetness.
- Experiment with variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of vodka or liqueurs to create your own unique s'mores martini variation. A touch of espresso liqueur adds another delicious dimension.
- Make it a mocktail: For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodkas with vanilla soy milk or other cream-based non-dairy milk and omit the bitters.
