White Chocolate Martini Recipe
What is a White Chocolate Martini?
A White Chocolate Martini is a delicious and indulgent cocktail that combines the rich and creamy flavors of white chocolate with the smoothness of vodka.
It is a perfect drink for those who have a sweet tooth and enjoy the taste of chocolate.
How to make a White Chocolate Martini?
To make a White Chocolate Martini, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 ounces of white chocolate liqueur
- 1 ounce of vanilla vodka
- 1 ounce of heavy whipping cream
- Ice cubes
- White, milk or dark chocolate shavings(for garnish).
To make the shavings, simply use your cheese grater (use a grater with holes that make a fine shred, not a coarse one). You will get a more light, powdery chocolate if the bar is chilled first.
Use a very good quality chocolate. No Hershey allowed in this!
I recommend Godiva's White Chocolate liqueur.
You can reverse these ingredients and use Godiva's regular Chocolate liqueur, garnished with White chocolate shavings.
Follow these simple steps to make your own White Chocolate Martini:
1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
2. Add the white chocolate liqueur, vanilla vodka, and cream to the shaker.
3. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
4. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
5. Garnish the drink with white chocolate shavings.
6. Serve and enjoy!
Other variations of a White Chocolate Martini
While the classic White Chocolate Martini recipe is delicious on its own, you can also experiment with different variations to suit your taste preferences.
Here are a few ideas:
- Mint White Chocolate Martini: Add a splash of mint liqueur to the classic recipe for a refreshing twist.
- Raspberry White Chocolate Martini: Muddle a few fresh raspberries in the shaker before adding the other ingredients to infuse the drink with fruity flavors.
- Salted Caramel White Chocolate Martini: Drizzle some salted caramel sauce into the martini glass before pouring in the cocktail for a sweet and salty combination.
- Hazelnut White Chocolate Martini: Substitute hazelnut liqueur for the white chocolate liqueur to add a nutty flavor to the drink.
- Scoop a generous amount of good quality vanilla ice cream, omit the ice, double all the other ingredients and blend them on high instead of using the cocktail shaker for an adult version of a White Chocolate Milkshake!
Feel free to get creative and experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique White Chocolate Martini variation!
