RumChata Snickerdoodle Martini Ingredients
RumChata: RumChata is a creamy cinnamon vanilla rum liquor. This is the base for this cinnamon sugar-based cookie.
White Chocolate Liquor: White Chocolate Liquor is the secret ingredient. This is what gives the martini that decadence and dessert flavor that will make your taste buds smile. I like to use Godiva white chocolate liquor.
Vanilla Vodka: Adding Vanilla Vodka is akin to adding vanilla extract to a recipe. It adds that little umph the martini needs.
Ice: Ice for shaking or stirring, we are not picky here! Let’s cool it all down while also thinning with some of that icy cool water.
Garnishes
Whipped Cream: the perfect topper for this decadence.
Cinnamon Sugar: A pop of browns on the whipped cream gives the martini that classic snickerdoodle look. I used date sugar, which happens to be the perfect color!
