    With white chocolate liqueur, white crème de cacao, vodka, heavy cream and vanilla extract, this white chocolate martini is one tasty dessert cocktail.

    When it comes to cocktails, I'm a sucker for dessert-themed ones - from a Godiva chocolate martini to a gin espresso martini to a salted caramel martini to a gingerbread martini.

    And while this white chocolate martini makes you think of snow with its striking white color, it can be enjoyed year round.

    It is mildly flavored but creamy, making it a drink everyone will love. Yes it does use some ingredients that are specific to this cocktail, but no need to worry. You'll keep coming back to it for every occasion.

    It is one of those drinks where you are questioning if there is alcohol in it. So if you are having a party or just craving a decadent cocktail, this should be at the top of the list.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur - has delicate flavors of white chocolate and Madagascar vanilla with a soft, lush finish.
    • White Crème de Cacao - adds a sweet chocolate flavor with vanilla notes. It is not white, but clear.
    • Vodka - you want to use quality vodka like Grey Goose or Belvedere. This just is used to up the booze a little bit.
    • Heavy cream - mellows out the martini but also adds creaminess. You can also use milk or half-and-half.
    • Vanilla extract - adds a hint of vanilla flavor.
    • Chocolate - can shave it and add to rim or on top.

    Variations

    Like any cocktail you can mix some of the ingredients. Some options include:

    • Flavored vodka - instead of just vodka, try vanilla flavored vodka.
    • Peppermint - if you want to make it more holiday-themed, add ½ oz peppermint schnapps.
    • Garnishes - add some fresh fruit like strawberries or crushed peppermint.

    Add all of the martini ingredients to a cocktail shaker with some ice and shake for 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with shaved chocolate.

    FAQs

    What White Chocolate Liqueur Do You Use?

    Godiva's white chocolate liqueur is the only way to go to me.

    However other options include Van Meer's, Sheelin and Borgata.

    Is White Crème de Cacao the Same as White Chocolate Liqueur?

    No. Crème de Cacao is a sweet white chocolate liqueur scented with a hint of vanilla.

    Godiva white chocolate liqueur contains both white chocolate and cream, which makes it more syrupy.

    How Do I Make a Martini without a Cocktail Shaker?

    I know not everyone has cocktail shakers. Just add your ingredients for the martini to a mug with some ice, screw the lid on tightly and start shaking.

    Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

    • Place the martini glass in the freezer for an hour so it keeps your martini chilled.
    • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
    • If you want even more vanilla flavor, increase the vanilla extract to ½ tsp.
