Make a Tiramisu Martini

This tiramisu martini might look like chocolate milk, but in fact it's a delicious drink based on vanilla vodka and crème de cacao. If you adore tiramisu in its regular form, this drink version might be just the treat you're after for your next cocktail party.

Ingredients

Servings: 1 (about 275 calories or 1150.6 kilojoules)

  • 1.5 oz (45 ml) vanilla vodka
  • 1.5 oz (45 ml) crème de cacao
  • 1.5 oz (45 ml) coffee liqueur
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) half-and-half (very light cream) (optional)
  • Crushed ice
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder or finely ground espresso powder

Steps

Preparing the Martini Glass

  1. Fill a small, shallow dish with water.
  2. Fill another small, shallow dish with the sugar and cacao (or espresso).
  3. Dip the rim of the cocktail glass in the water.
  4. Coat the edges of the dipped glass in the sugar mix.
  5. Set the glass aside for now. The sugar rim will harden and set in place.
