Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz vanilla vodka
- 1 oz white chocolate liqueur
- 1 oz crème de cacao (white)
- 1 oz half-and-half or heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra richness)
- Ice cubes
- White chocolate shavings, for garnish
- Optional: crushed candy cane for rimming
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your glass. If desired, rim the glass with crushed candy cane by moistening the rim with a little half-and-half and dipping it into the crushed candy.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, crème de cacao, half-and-half, and vanilla extract.
- Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the shaker, filling it halfway.
- Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
- Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
- Garnish with white chocolate shavings on top for an elegant finish.
Notes
- This cocktail can be made ahead of time; simply mix the ingredients (without ice) and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Store any leftover ingredients in a cool, dark place; the liqueurs will last for several months.
- For a non-dairy version, substitute half-and-half with coconut cream or almond milk.
