Lovely layers of vanilla vodka, cream, and raspberry with a candy cane stir stick! Perfect for your Christmas celebration. Note: This drink is sweet. For best results, be sure to follow instructions and chill your alcohol & serving glass ahead of time. You can sub cream or half-and-half for the white Creme de Cacao for a less sweet (and less potent) version.

Time 3m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 crushed candy cane, optional for garnish
1 fluid ounce vanilla vodka, well chilled (1 shot)
2 shots white Creme de Cacao, well chilled
2 -3 tablespoons raspberry sauce or 2 -3 tablespoons Chambord raspberry liquor
candy cane stir stick

Steps:

  • Place crushed candy cane on a small plate. Wet the outside rim of a chilled martini glass with water. Holding the glass by the stem, rotate the rim to coat with candy.
  • Layer the remaining ingredients in the prepared glass, top with a drizzle of raspberry sauce or Chambord. Serve with a candy cane stir stick.
  • Merry Christmas!

Tips:

  • Chill your ingredients: This will help to create a smooth and refreshing martini. You can chill your vodka, vermouth, and coupe glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before making the martini.
  • Use a good quality vodka: The vodka is the main ingredient in a martini, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
  • Use a dry vermouth: Dry vermouth is a type of white wine that is fortified with herbs and spices. It has a dry and slightly bitter flavor, which complements the vodka in a martini.
  • Don't over-stir the martini: Over-stirring the martini will dilute it and make it watery. Stir the martini just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish the martini with a twist of lemon or a sprig of rosemary: This will add a touch of flavor and elegance to the martini.

Conclusion:

The Christmas Martini is a delicious and festive cocktail that is perfect for any holiday gathering. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your martinis dry or dirty, with a twist of lemon or a sprig of rosemary, there is a Christmas Martini recipe out there for you. So raise a glass and enjoy this holiday season!
