Ingredients
To make the perfect Cinnamon Roll Martini, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1.5 oz vanilla vodka (for a smooth vanilla base)
- 1 oz cinnamon schnapps or cinnamon liqueur (adds that warm, spicy cinnamon flavor)
- 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (for creaminess and richness)
- 1 oz heavy cream (optional, to add extra thickness)
- Ice cubes (to chill the drink)
- Cinnamon stick or cinnamon-sugar rim (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Creating the Cinnamon Roll Martini is a quick process. Follow these steps to make a cocktail that captures the essence of a cinnamon roll:
Step 1: Start by preparing the martini glass. To give it a sweet touch, rim the glass with cinnamon-sugar. To do this, lightly moisten the rim of the glass with water or a bit of Irish cream, then dip it in a plate of cinnamon-sugar until evenly coated.
Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, cinnamon schnapps (or liqueur), Irish cream liqueur, and heavy cream.
Step 3: Add ice cubes to the shaker, filling it halfway, and secure the lid tightly.
Step 4: Shake the mixture well for about 10-15 seconds until thoroughly mixed and chilled. The drink should have a creamy consistency with a slight froth on top.
Step 5: Strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass, ensuring it’s smooth and free of ice shards.
Step 6: For garnish, add a cinnamon stick or a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top. This not only enhances the drink’s aroma but also adds to its festive appearance. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making the Cinnamon Roll Martini:
- Heavy Cream: Adding heavy cream is optional, but it makes the drink richer and creamier. If you prefer a lighter version, you can omit it or substitute it with whole milk or a non-dairy alternative.
- Cinnamon Liqueur: If you don’t have cinnamon schnapps, cinnamon whiskey or a cinnamon-flavored liqueur like Fireball can also work. Keep in mind that these may make the drink a bit stronger, so adjust the amount based on your preference.
- Chill Your Glass: For the best drinking experience, chill your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring the drink. This will keep your cocktail colder for longer and enhance the flavors.
- Sugar Rim: The cinnamon-sugar rim is optional, but it adds a lovely touch of sweetness to each sip and enhances the cinnamon roll experience.
