Ingredients
Scale
Alcoholic Ingredients
- 2 ounces Pearl Vodka (Black Pearl or Vanilla Bean)
- 2 ounces White Chocolate Liqueur
- ½ ounce Hazelnut Liqueur (like Frangelico)
- 1 ounce Butterscotch Schnapps
Dairy and Flavorings
- 3 ounces heavy cream or whole milk (approximately 1 shot)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, if not using Pearl Vanilla Bean Vodka)
Garnish
- A dash of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all of the alcoholic ingredients along with the heavy cream (or milk) and vanilla extract to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. This ensures everything chills properly and blends together for a smooth texture.
- Shake: Vigorously shake the cocktail shaker for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.
- Serve and Garnish: Strain the mixture into chilled martini glasses and garnish each with a light dash of ground cinnamon for an aromatic finish.
- Enjoy: Sip and savor the creamy, sweet flavors that mimic the famous Gooey Butter Cake in a sophisticated martini form.
Notes
- Use heavy cream for a richer, creamier drink or whole milk for a lighter version.
- The vanilla extract is optional if you are using the Pearl Vanilla Bean Vodka, as it already imparts vanilla flavor.
- You can rim the martini glass with cinnamon sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation flair.
- Adjust the amount of hazelnut liqueur to your sweetness preference.
