🍸 Ingredients That Bring the Magic

🔥 How to Make the Perfect S’mores Martini
🥄 1. Prepare the glass
Pour chocolate syrup into a shallow dish. Roll the rim of your martini glass in it, then dip into crushed graham crackers. Let it sit for a few minutes to set. Place the glass in the freezer while you make the cocktail.
🧊 2. Shake it up
Fill a cocktail shaker â…“ full with ice. Pour in 2 oz of marshmallow vodka and 2 oz of chocolate liqueur. Add a splash of cream or toasted marshmallow syrup if desired. Close the shaker and shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
🍢 3. Garnish like a pro
Skewer one or two marshmallows and toast them using a kitchen torch, grill, or oven broiler. Golden brown is the goal—not burnt.
🍹 4. Serve and enjoy
Take your chilled glass from the freezer, pour in the martini, and top with the toasted marshmallows. Sip slowly and savor every moment.
🍬 Tips for Making It Even Better
• Use high-quality chocolate liqueur for a richer, smoother taste
• If using a broiler to toast marshmallows, keep a close eye on them – they toast fast
• Chilling your rimmed glass enhances the creamy texture and keeps your cocktail cooler longer
• Don’t skimp on the rim! A thick chocolate and graham edge makes each sip feel complete
🍸 Serving Ideas for Special Moments
This martini is more than just a pretty drink. It can be the star of your next get-together. Set up a dessert cocktail station and let guests build their own. Offer different vodka options (marshmallow, vanilla, whipped), flavored syrups, and even crushed cookies for fun rim variations.
Or keep it cozy. Light a few candles, put on your favorite playlist, and sip this sweet creation while winding down from the day.
