Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ oz vodka – Provides a smooth base with a slight kick.
1 oz blue curaçao – Adds sweetness and the signature deep blue color.
1 oz cranberry juice – Balances the sweetness with a hint of tartness.
½ oz lime juice – Enhances the citrus notes and brightens the flavor.
½ oz simple syrup – Adds a touch of sweetness to round out the flavors.
½ oz coconut cream – Creates a beautiful swirling galaxy effect.
Edible glitter – Gives the martini a mesmerizing shimmer.
Ice cubes – Chills the drink and ensures a smooth texture.
Lemon twist (for garnish) – Adds an elegant finishing touch.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
Chill a martini glass by placing it in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. This keeps the drink colder for longer and enhances its presentation.

Step 2: Mix the Base
In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, blue curaçao, cranberry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

Step 3: Create the Galaxy Swirl
Strain the mixture into your chilled martini glass. Now, slowly pour ½ oz of coconut cream into the glass. Do not stir—let the natural movement create a swirling effect.

Step 4: Add the Cosmic Sparkle
Sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter over the drink. The swirling effect from the coconut cream will help disperse the glitter, creating a shimmering galaxy effect.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Twist a lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, then place it on the rim as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the cosmic beauty of your Galaxy Swirl Martini!

Notes

Shaking the cocktail properly is essential for a well-balanced martini. Always shake for at least 15 seconds to ensure the ingredients mix thoroughly and the drink is well-chilled.
Use high-quality edible glitter that dissolves easily and is safe for consumption. Avoid craft glitter, as it is not food-grade.
For a stronger citrus flavor, add an extra splash of lime juice or garnish with an orange twist instead of lemon.
If the coconut cream is too thick, warm it slightly before pouring so it swirls more easily.
