This Coconut Caramel Martini is the perfect cocktail if you’re like me and you love cookies but also enjoy drinking your calories.
Nothing says Spring quite like Girl Scout Cookies! Everywhere I turn I see Girl Scout cookies and the truth is, I’m weak as hell and can never resist a box (or ten) of those delicious Samoas!
One day as I was stuffing my face with said Samoas, I thought to myself… I need a drink! Unfortunately, wine doesn’t pair very well with this particular dessert. I was inspired to create this delicious coconut caramel martini! I know, any sane person would probably crave milk when eating cookies, but I think it’s been well established by now that I am far from sane. So I guess vodka makes sense, right?
Just like all my other cocktail recipes, this one is super easy…. Only 3 ingredient. Caramel Vodka, Coconut Rum and Coconut Milk.
I used Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka, but any caramel vodka will work.
Grab a cocktail shaker with some ice. Add one ounce caramel vodka, one ounce coconut rum (I used Malibu Coconut Rum), and 2 ounces of coconut milk. Give it a good shake and strain into martini glasses. This recipe should make 2 martinis, depending on the size of your glasses. My glasses are pretty small so you may want to double the recipe. If you don’t like your drinks quite as strong, add some more coconut milk.
I’m not kidding guys, this cocktail tastes JUST like the cookies!
Don’t forget to garnish with a cookie!
If you’re having a hard time tracking down your neighborhood girl scouts… or if you’re like me and you already scarfed down all the Samoa’s immediately after you bought them, don’t worry! These Keebler Coconut Dreams will work, too!
Good news, guys! Hump Day Happy Hour is back in full swing! Come back next week for another delicious cocktail!
XOXO
