Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 2 oz caramel vodka (or vanilla vodka for a subtle twist)
- 1 oz toffee liqueur (such as Buttershots or homemade toffee syrup)
- 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream (or a vanilla-flavored cream liqueur)
- 1 oz coconut cream (full-fat for a creamy texture)
- ½ oz heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
- ½ tsp sea salt (enhances the caramelized toffee flavors)
- Ice cubes (for shaking)
For the Rim & Garnish:
- Toasted shredded coconut (for rimming the glass)
- Caramel sauce (for drizzling inside the glass)
- Toffee bits or caramelized sugar pieces (optional, for garnish)
- Coconut flakes or a coconut rim (for extra visual appeal)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Rim
Spread toasted shredded coconut on a small plate. Lightly coat the rim of a martini glass with caramel sauce or dip it in honey. Then, press the rim into the toasted coconut to coat it evenly. Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce inside the glass for a decorative effect.
Step 2: Mix the Cocktail
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the caramel vodka, toffee liqueur, Baileys, coconut cream, and sea salt. Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to chill the mixture and create a smooth, creamy texture.
Step 3: Strain & Serve
Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glass. The drink should have a creamy, velvety consistency with a beautifully balanced blend of toffee and coconut flavors.
Step 4: Garnish & Enjoy
Garnish with a sprinkle of toffee bits, a drizzle of caramel, or a toasted coconut flake on top. Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent, tropical-inspired martini.
Notes
- Shake Well for a Smooth Texture: The key to a perfect creamy martini is shaking the ingredients well with ice to create a silky, frothy consistency.
- Chill the Glass: For an extra-refreshing martini, place your glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Best Coconut Cream: Use full-fat canned coconut cream for the richest, most velvety texture. If unavailable, coconut milk can be used, but the drink may be less creamy.
- Homemade Toffee Syrup: If you don’t have toffee liqueur, make a simple syrup by melting brown sugar and butter with a splash of water.
