  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz crème de menthe (white/clear variety)
  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
  • 1 oz chocolate liqueur (e.g., Godiva)
  • Ice cubes
  • Crushed chocolate cookies (for rimming the glass)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
  • Mint sprig or chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass Take a martini glass and moisten the rim with a bit of chocolate liqueur. Dip the rim into crushed chocolate cookies to coat it evenly. This adds a lovely crunch and enhances the chocolate flavor of the martini.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, crème de menthe, Irish cream liqueur, and chocolate liqueur. The combination of these ingredients creates a rich, creamy cocktail with deep chocolate and mint flavors.

Step 3: Add Ice and Shake Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. Shaking thoroughly helps to chill the drink and blend all the flavors smoothly.

Step 4: Strain and Serve Strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass. The cookie-coated rim adds a beautiful texture and extra sweetness to each sip.

Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy Garnish your Thin Mint Cookie Martini with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprig of mint, or some chocolate shavings. These garnishes not only make the cocktail look stunning but also enhance the flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the nostalgic taste of Thin Mint cookies!

Notes

  • Chill the Glass: For the best presentation, chill your martini glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before preparing the drink. A chilled glass keeps the martini refreshing and enhances the drinking experience.
  • Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, reduce the amount of chocolate liqueur or Irish cream. You can also use unsweetened crème de menthe for a more balanced flavor.
  • Quality Ingredients: Using high-quality liqueurs is essential for the best flavor. The quality of the vodka, Irish cream, and chocolate liqueur can significantly impact the taste of your cocktail.
