Ingredients

  • 1½ oz vanilla vodka

  • 1 oz marshmallow liqueur (or use Baileys for a creamy substitute)

  • 1 oz white chocolate liqueur

  • 2 oz half-and-half (or use heavy cream for a richer version)

  • ½ oz simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

  • Pink sanding sugar (for rimming the glass)

  • Whipped cream (for topping)

  • 1 marshmallow Peep (for garnish)

Optional Add-ins:

  • ½ oz amaretto (for almond sweetness)

  • 1 drop of pink food coloring (for visual pop)

  • Splash of vanilla extract or flavored syrup

  • Mini marshmallows for extra garnish

Preparation

Rim and chill the glass

Step 1: Decorate the rim
Pour a little simple syrup onto a plate. Dip the rim of a martini or coupe glass into the syrup, then into a plate of pink sanding sugar. Set aside in the freezer while you prepare the cocktail.

Mix the cocktail

Step 2: Combine the ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 1½ oz vanilla vodka, 1 oz marshmallow liqueur, 1 oz white chocolate liqueur, 2 oz half-and-half, and ½ oz simple syrup (if desired). Add a handful of ice.

Step 3: Shake until frothy
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until chilled and lightly frothy. The cream will create a silky texture that’s key to this cocktail’s luscious body.

Strain and serve

Step 4: Strain into the glass
Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass. The soft pink tone and sugared rim create an instantly festive look.

Step 5: Top with whipped cream and garnish
Add a swirl of whipped cream on top. Perch a marshmallow Peep on the cream or rim. Serve immediately with a smile and a wink.

Variation

Put your own spin on this Naughty Peep with these fun ideas:

  • Chocolate Bunny Cocktail: Replace white chocolate liqueur with regular chocolate liqueur and use chocolate syrup on the rim.

  • Peep Drop Martini: Serve in a shot glass with a sugar rim and mini Peeps skewered on cocktail picks.

  • Frozen Peep: Blend all ingredients with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and crushed ice for a boozy milkshake version.

  • Fruity Peep: Add a splash of raspberry or strawberry syrup for berry-flavored flair.

  • Vegan Version: Use almond milk creamer and dairy-free liqueurs with vegan marshmallows for a plant-based take.

COOKING Note

  • Marshmallow liqueur is sweet and light—if unavailable, Baileys or even vanilla-flavored cream liqueur can be used.

  • White chocolate liqueur (like Godiva) adds richness and depth—don’t skip it if you want that dessert-like flavor.

  • Simple syrup is optional—only add it if you prefer a super sweet finish.

  • For the fluffiest whipped cream, use freshly whipped heavy cream over canned.

  • Peeps come in multiple colors—match your garnish to your rim for extra aesthetic points!

Tips

  • Chill your glass ahead of time to help keep the drink cold and creamy longer.

  • If making a batch for a party, multiply the ingredients and keep the mix refrigerated until ready to pour and garnish.

  • Add sprinkles or edible glitter for even more playful presentation.

  • Use a cocktail pick to balance the Peep garnish neatly across the top.

  • Pair with Easter cookies, cupcakes, or candy trays for a themed dessert bar.
