  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1

Ingredients

Scale

For the Martini:

1.25 oz white chocolate liqueur

3/4 oz chocolate vodka

3 oz half-and-half

For the “Yolk”:

1 oz sweetened condensed milk

sunset yellow (OR yellow + orange) food coloring

For the Rim & Garnish:

chocolate chips or plain chocolate bar

8-10 mini Cadbury Mini Eggs candies (bagged, not individually wrapped)

3 mini Cadbury Creme Eggs (small, individually wrapped) – optional

Instructions

Make the “Yolk”:

  1. Place an ounce of sweetened condensed milk in a mini bowl.
  2. Put a tiny drop of sunset yellow food coloring (or a tiny drop of yellow and a tiny drop of orange) in the condensed milk. Stir to combine. If needed, add one tiny drop at a time until you achieve the desired “yolk” color. Set aside.

Rim the Glass:

  1. Place Mini Cadbury Eggs candies into a ziplock bag and crush. Pour the crushed candies onto a saucer or small plate.
  2. Put chocolate chips or broken-up pieces of a plain chocolate bar in a small bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted.
  3. Dip a coupe glass into the melted chocolate making sure to coat the top 1/2”-3/4” (outside) of the glass.
  4. Immediately dip the glass in the crushed candies to coat all around. Place the glass in the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes.
  5. Skewer the three little Cadbury Creme Eggs. Be gentle and hold each together with your thumb and forefinger as you push the skewer through to prevent them from breaking open.

Make the Martini:

  1. Take the rimmed glass out of the refrigerator. With the bar spoon (or teaspoon), drop a large spoonful of the “yolk” mixture into the bottom of the glass. Be sure you can see it from the outside of the glass.
  2. Add the white chocolate liqueur, chocolate vodka, and half-and-half to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until well combined, about 15-20 seconds.
  3. Pour the cocktail mixture gently and slowly over the top of the yolk. It should layer and not mix with the yolk.
  4. Set the skewered trio of Cadbury Creme Eggs across the top of the glass.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Hold the spoonful of yolk up over the middle of the glass and let gravity do its job. This helps to ring the bottom/middle of the glass only.
  • You can use the back of a bar spoon to pour the cocktail over the yolk if you wish, but it should layer easily without it.
  • Don’t put the Cadbury Creme Eggs in the refrigerator prior to skewering, as this will make the skewering nearly impossible.
  • If using a plain, chocolate bar (like Hershey), 1 bar will coat two larger coupe glasses or 3-4 smaller ones. If making a big batch, opt for chocolate chips.
  • If you don’t have a coupe glass, other serving glasses can be used. If using a martini glass, work fast (due to its sloping nature) and get it in the fridge to harden asap.
  • Don’t use chocolate syrup. It isn’t thick or strong enough to hold the weight of the crushed candies.
  • To make this kid-friendly, swap out the alcohol for milk. Direct kids to mix “yolk” with the drink to “sweeten the deal.” Chocolate milk can also be used, but just keep in mind that it will change the color.
