Cake Batter Martini
Last week I was out having drinks with some girlfriends at a new swanky restaurant/bar. And before we start, yes I am the type of girl that enjoys those $12 ridiculous drinks -judge away. I like the fun colors and the fancy alcohols…but I really love the creativity the bartenders (or as they now call themselves, mixologists) put behind the drinks. I started off with a Watermelon Punch Mojito, dove into a Passion Pop Rock Martini and then was checking the menu for my next conquest. I was consulting the bartender on my next choice, when told me he had something really special just for me. First I thought maybe he was giving me his number -calm down Jorge, I would have pointed out my ring- but instead a pure white martini was placed in front of me.
I wasn’t quite sure about it…hello? Where are the colors and the cool garnishes? But then I took a sip… CAKE BATTER! Seriously, it was like the coolest birthday party, but in my mouth. I was hooked and proceeded to have another. I knew I could make one myself and even asked the bartender for his recipe. He told me no way, it was his secret. I handed him my card and told him to check here in a week. I promised I would make his Cake Batter Martini, but I would make it better.
So Aiden, if you are here, I made it…and with the addition of sprinkles, I definitely made it better!
After a quick google session, I found this baby over on How Sweet Eats. Big surprise, homegirl thinks of everything! I used the Cake Vodka by Three Olives (Pinnacle also makes it) and used heavy cream to stick the sprinkles to the edges. To get the color drizzle effect, I just dropped some sprinkles around the edge right after pouring the martini.
Cake Batter Martini
This Cake Batter Martini is absolutely the drink to celebrate your (or someone else's) birthday with--just look at those beautiful colors!
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Three Olives Cake Vodka
- 3 ounces white/clear creme de cacao
- 2 ounces amaretto
- 2 ounces heavy whipping cream
- 1 ounce Godiva white chocolate liqueur
- sprinkles (I used nonpareils)
Instructions
- Place sprinkles on a shallow plate that is a little larger than the mouth of your martini glass. Dampen a paper towel with whipping cream (or water) and wet the rims of the martini glasses. Dip glass into sprinkles to coat the edges.
- Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake for about 30 seconds. Strain into martini glasses and drink!
- Make ahead: For a big party, mix up a big bath of these martinis and store in a large pitcher in the fridge. Shake a glass at a time over ice whenever ready to serve!
