S'Mores Martini

The S'Mores Martini is a rich, decadent cocktail that tastes so much like a s'mores treat! With real marshmallow vodka and chocolate syrup, this cocktail is definitely dessert in a glass. It's a real showstopper!

The rich and creamy texture of this drink makes it great for cooler weather, like fall or even Christmas season. It's great for anytime you might be toasting up some marshmallows!

Ingredients

To make the S'mores Martini, you'll need a few specialty ingredients (they are worth finding if you can!).

You'll need heavy cream, chocolate syrup, and Bailey's S'mores cream liqueur. The Bailey's is sometimes hard to find, so if you can't find it, use regular Bailey's.

You'll also need two kinds of vodka: chocolate flavored and marshmallow flavored. For the chocolate, I used Van Gogh Dutch chocolate vodka.

I used homemade marshmallow vodka (see instructions above, or in my homemade Marshmallow Vodka recipe), but you could also use vanilla vodka or plain vodka.

For the garnish, you'll need to have graham cracker crumbs, more chocolate syrup and a large marshmallow.

Substitutions

If you haven't made Marshmallow Vodka, you can use a store bought vanilla vodka, or even whipped cream vodka.

For the Bailey's S'mores liqueur, just sub in regular Bailey's, or another brand of Irish Cream. If you don't have that either, just use a little more of the Marshmallow Vodka instead.

If you don't have the chocolate vodka, just use more Marshmallow Vodka instead.

Variations

Need to change up this recipe? If this drink is too sweet for you, you can cut back on the amount of chocolate syrup you use. Or, omit it altogether, especially if you are using it on the rim of the glass.

If the drink is too creamy, you can swap out the heavy cream for either half and half or whole milk. Or, use a non-dairy milk like coconut milk instead.

To make this martini into a mocktail, just swap out the vodka for either filtered water or coconut water.

Equipment

You'll just need some basic bar tools for this drink! Grab a jigger, a cocktail shaker and strainer, and a martini glass.

If you want to have the marshmallow on top, you'll also need a cocktail pick, or a toothpick long enough to rest on the rim of the glass.

And if you want to toast the marshmallow, a kitchen torch works great here. Or, put the marshmallow in a toaster oven on broil until they are toasted (keep an eye on them!)

Instructions

Start out by adding the graham cracker rim to the glass. Dip the rim in chocolate syrup, and then dip it again in the graham cracker crumbs.

If you're adding a marshmallow garnish, add it to a cocktail pick, or a skewer.

Add the cream and the chocolate syrup to your cocktail shaker.

Add in the Bailey's and the two types of vodka.

Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, and give everything about 15-20 hard shakes to incorporate the ingredients.

If you're using a glass cocktail shaker and you still see some chocolate syrup at the bottom of the glass, give it a few more shakes to get it all mixed in to the drink.

Drizzle more chocolate syrup into the glass (this is optional but looks amazing!)

Then, strain the drink into the glass.

Optionally toast your marshmallow with a kitchen torch (or use it untoasted) and rest it on the rim of the glass.

Serve and enjoy!

Hint: If you want to chill your cocktail glass, you can add the graham cracker crumbs to the rim first, and then chill it in the fridge for around 30 minutes.

Top tip

If you want to make a bunch of these martinis for a party, you can mix up all of the ingredients beforehand in a pitcher! Keep it in the fridge until you want to serve.

You can even pre-toast the marshmallows in the oven. Just lay them out on a baking sheet and put them under the broiler, or toast them individually using a kitchen torch. Then, add each one to a cocktail pick after they cool. They will still look and taste delicious!
