Description

The Gooey Butter Cake Martini is a decadent and indulgent cocktail that captures the rich, buttery flavors of the classic Missouri dessert. Combining Pearl Vodka, white chocolate liqueur, hazelnut liqueur, butterscotch schnapps, and creamy dairy, this martini is a smooth and luscious treat perfect for dessert lovers wanting a sweet and creamy drink.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Shake: Vigorously shake the cocktail shaker for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Strain the mixture into chilled martini glasses and garnish each with a light dash of ground cinnamon for an aromatic finish.
  4. 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.
