Ingredients
-
1 oz Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys)
-
1 oz vanilla vodka
-
0.5 oz amaretto
-
2 oz milk or dairy-free alternative (oat or almond milk work great!)
-
Optional: 1 tsp sugar cookie syrup (for extra sweetness and cookie flavor)
-
Garnish: vanilla frosting
-
Garnish: colorful sprinkles
-
Garnish: 1 marshmallow Peep (chick or bunny!)
Instructions
-
Prepare your glass: Spread a little vanilla frosting onto a small plate. Dip the rim of your martini glass into the frosting, then into a plate of colorful sprinkles. Set aside.
-
Make the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add Irish cream, vanilla vodka, amaretto, milk, and (if using) sugar cookie syrup.
-
Shake it up: Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until well chilled and frothy.
-
Strain and serve: Strain the drink into your prepared martini glass.
-
Garnish: Place a marshmallow Peep on the rim or float it on top for a playful, picture-perfect finish. Sip and enjoy!
Notes
-
Make it dairy-free: Use oat milk or almond milk for a lactose-free version that’s just as creamy and delicious.
-
No sugar cookie syrup? Mix ½ tsp almond extract with 1 tsp simple syrup to mimic that sweet cookie flavor.
-
Serving a crowd? You can easily multiply the ingredients and mix in a pitcher. Shake individual servings with ice before pouring.
-
Want it stronger? Add an extra splash of vodka or try white chocolate liqueur for a fun twist.
-
Make it a mocktail: Use Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer, milk, and a drop of vanilla & almond extract—just as sweet, zero booze!
