Tiramisu Martini

This Tiramisu Martini tastes just like the classic Italian dessert – but in drinkable form. Coffee, chocolate, and vanilla flavors combine for a creamy, delicious dessert cocktail that's perfect after dinner or for entertaining.

After a long day of work, I love relaxing in my pajamas with a sweet cocktail in hand. Usually, it's something simple like my RumChata Root Beer Floats or Creamy Cinnamon Roll Cocktails – but one night, craving dessert, I mixed up this tasty Tiramisu Martini instead. The coffee, chocolate, and vanilla flavors taste just like the classic dessert! Top it with a dusting of cocoa powder for a finishing touch, and try my Tiramisu Truffles for the perfect pairing!

How to Make a Tiramisu Martini

Step 1. Add ice to cocktail shaker.

Step 2. Pour in the vanilla voda.

Step 3. Add in the Amaretto.

Step 4. Pour in the Kahlua or coffee liqueur.

Step 5. Add cream (half-and-half or your preferred dairy).

Variation: Tiramisu Espresso Martini - Add 1 oz freshly brewed espresso (cooled) to turn it into a stronger martini twist.

Storage

• You can pre-mix the base (without ice) and store in a sealed bottle or pitcher in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
• Shake or stir well before serving in martini cocktail glasses as cream tends to settle.
• Add garnishes last minute so they stay fresh.

Garnish Ideas

• Cocoa powder + chocolate shavings (classic).
• Rim the glass with drizzled chocolate sauce, chocolate syrup, or finely grated dark chocolate.
• Float a whole ladyfinger or 3 espresso beans on top.
• Use whipped cream for extra indulgence.
