Birthday Cake Martini


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 oz vanilla vodka – Brings a sweet, cake-like base flavor with a warm boozy kick.

  • 1 oz white chocolate liqueur – Adds creaminess and a rich, sweet depth reminiscent of frosting.

  • 1 oz amaretto – Infuses an almond-cake note that mimics birthday cake batter.

  • 1 oz half & half or heavy cream – Balances the sweetness with creamy texture.

  • Rainbow sprinkles (for rimming) – Adds color, crunch, and classic birthday vibes.

  • Whipped cream (garnish) – Optional but highly recommended for over-the-top fun.

  • Extra sprinkles (garnish) – Because more is more when it comes to celebration.


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass:
    Dip the rim of your martini glass in a shallow plate of simple syrup or vanilla frosting, then gently roll it in rainbow sprinkles until evenly coated. Set aside.

  2. Mix the Drink:
    In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add:

    • 1 oz vanilla vodka

    • 1 oz white chocolate liqueur

    • 1 oz amaretto

    • 1 oz half & half or heavy cream

  3. Shake It Up:
    Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and blend all ingredients thoroughly.

  4. Strain & Pour:
    Strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass.

  5. Garnish:
    Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles for a festive finish.

  6. Serve Immediately:
    Enjoy chilled while the whipped cream slowly melts into the drink, enhancing the creamy texture.

Notes

  • Premix the liquid ingredients (vodka, liqueurs, and cream) and refrigerate in a sealed jar up to 24 hours in advance. Shake with ice and serve when ready.

  • Pre-rim your glasses and store them in the fridge. Just be careful not to stack them!

  • Whipped cream garnish can be piped and frozen on parchment paper, then transferred onto the drink when serving for instant presentation.
