Notes

  • Chill the Glass: A chilled glass is essential for this cocktail to maintain its refreshing, frosty quality. Place your martini glass in the freezer before preparing the drink.
  • Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, reduce the amount of white chocolate liqueur or add a bit more vodka. You can also use unsweetened white crème de menthe for a more balanced flavor.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use a good-quality white chocolate liqueur and vodka for the best flavor. The quality of the ingredients can make a significant difference in the final taste of the cocktail.
