Pin Recipe

A fun twist on a classic martini, we have gently adjusted the ingredients to vibrantly deliver on color, but still some of the traditional taste.

• Total Time: 3 minutes
• Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

60 ml gin

15 ml dry vermouth

15 ml blue Curaçao

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Optional lemon twist or maraschino cherry garnish

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker
2. Add ice to a martini glass
3. Strain over ice into a martini glass
4. Add a lemon twist or a cherry to garnish

Notes

If you prefer vodka martini, the gin can easily be replaced with vodka. As its such a core component of the drink, make it good quality.

We have chosen to shake & not stir due to the flavours, but traditionalists will prefer a mixing jug over a shaker.

Alternatives and Twists on the Blue Martini

Once you start adding colour to cocktails, Blue curaçao is one of the first ingredients that comes to mind. This naturally adds citrus flavours, so some prefer a sweeter ingredient than the normal martini dry vermouth.

You can try combining vodka and pineapple juice in the same proportions rather than gin and vermouth. The pineapple in the shaker will leave a foamy texture on top.

Whether you’re hosting a sophisticated baby shower, creating a patriotic display for Fourth of July celebrations, or simply want to add an elegant pop of color to any special gathering, this Blue Martini rises to the occasion. Its versatility matches its beauty – customize the garnish to complement your theme and watch as this stunning azure cocktail becomes the centerpiece conversation starter at your next memorable event.

Cadbury Creme Egg Martini

Print Recipe

Pin Recipe

This Cadbury Creme Egg Martini is rich, chocolatey, and topped with a playful “yolk” surprise that looks just like the real thing. Finished with a candy-rimmed glass and mini eggs on top, it’s pure Easter fun in cocktail form.

• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

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

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

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.

The Process – In Pictures

Helping you with a step-by-step guide to constructing your Cadbury Creme Egg Martinis:

Make Your Martini’s Ahead of Time

To make ahead of time (this one was made 10 hours before consumption), follow these tips:

1. The rims are perfect to make ahead as this gives the chocolate plenty of time to harden, which prevents the crushed candy from sliding/falling off.
2. Mix the main cocktail part of the drink separately and pour it into a pitcher. Store in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
3. You can make the “yolk” ahead of time by pouring the amount of condensed milk needed into an airtight container and adding the food coloring to turn it yellow-orange.
4. If you have the room or are only making a few, the martini can be assembled and stored in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

This Cadbury Creme Egg Martini is perfect for Easter celebrations, dessert-themed parties, or any occasion that calls for a sweet indulgence.

Recipe Variations for the Pornstar Martini Mocktail

Oh, we’ve seen plenty! A relatively modern cocktail that’s still evolving, there are plenty of different takes on the perfect Pornstar Martini mocktail too.

The original cocktail recipe is made from vanilla vodka, passionfruit liqueur, passionfruit puree, sugar syrup, a splash of lime juice and a shot of rose prosecco.

Many suggest the right substitute for sparkling rose wine should be apple juice, not pineapple juice. We’ve seen agave syrup and orange juice suggested as an alternate base and there are plenty of non-alcoholic sparkling roses to try to staying as close as possible to the original Porn Star of “Passion Star Martini”.

A great one to play about with and have some fun with passionfruit clearly taking the starring role.

How Did the Pornstar Martini Get Its Name?

This unlikely cocktail bar hero was invented by mixologist Douglas Ankrah in 1999 ⁽¹⁾, with the name believed to have evolved as he sought a name that was ‘Bold, Sexy and Playful.

Previously called a Maverick Martini, ‘Pornstar’ was considered a far more proactive name and what helped it shoot to popularity as a sophisticated cocktail in London in the early 2000s.

We hope you enjoy our non-alcoholic adaption!

If this one hit the spot, our tropical Cool Passion Mocktail and vibrant Blue Lagoon Mocktail are just as fun to make and just as hard to resist.

Mint Martini

No reviews

Print Recipe

Pin Recipe

• Total Time: 5 minutes
• Yield: 1 large (8 oz) or 2 small (4 oz) 1x

Ingredients

2 ounces Bailey’s Vanilla Mint Shake Liqueur

2 ounces vodka

2 ounces creme de menthe

2 ounces half-and-half

Whipped cream

Chocolate or chocolate mint shavings

Green sanding sugar

Simple syrup

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

For the Rim:

1. Place a small amount of simple syrup on one saucer and spread a good layer of the green sanding sugar on the other.
2. Dip the edge of the martini glass in the simple syrup first and then in the sanding sugar. Make sure the rim is well-coated all the way around.

For the Drink:

1. Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Pour in the Bailey’s, vodka, creme de menthe, and half-and-half and vigorously shake well (about 15-20 seconds).
2. Pour the mixture into the rimmed martini glass.
3. Top with whipped cream.
4. Sprinkle on the chocolate mint shavings to garnish.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• This is a stronger cocktail that can be made as one large (8-9 ounces) martini as shown or split into two smaller martinis.
• You can use either clear or green creme de menthe. I used clear and as you can see, it’s still a greenish drink (even without the sanding sugar). The sanding sugar will drip down into the drink which helps the color.
• For the chocolate shavings, I grated an Andes mint. However, you can use any kind of shavings (Hershey’s chocolate bar or even ready-made).

So What’s Really Involved in an Espresso Martini?

A cold, coffee-flavored cocktail credited to bartender Dick Bradsell – apparently requested by a prestigious female client who asked for something to “wake her up and f*&% her up“. It’s a real party starter based on coffee and vodka, shaken and drunk straight up in a martini cocktail glass.

You may also hear this cocktail, perhaps more correctly, called a Vodka Espresso.

The key to a successful Espresso Martini (other than perhaps keeping your guests awake!) is the perfect balance of spirits and a lovely creamy froth on top. There are, of course, variations in quantities, like all our cocktail suggestions, you can try to suit your pallet and appearance.

It can be equally great as an introduction to the evening – a pick me up before the party starts – as it is a nightcap.

They are incredibly moreish but also strong, so they are not something you can nurse all evening, but they are definitely one of our dinner party favourites.

So however you like it, or whatever legend you believe, here’s our absolute classic recipe for Espresso Martini, then let’s take a deeper look at variations and how to improve your concoction, certain to sprite up a party!

Espresso Martini Recipe Variations

There is so much fun you can have adapting this recipe to your personal tastes.

Decaf Martini

This is the most obvious variation, especially when you have your Espresso Martini as a nightcap. We have not found any difference in taste or texture using decaf pods.

Tia Maria

Tia Maria is also a coffee liqueur; you may split potions between Kahlua and Tia Maria, but you may want to balance the use of both with more vodka.

Sweeten It Up? Add Sugar Syrup

It’s super simple to make sugar syrup: one part golden caster sugar and one part boiling water. Those with a sweet tooth or who would normally add sugar to their coffee will like this adaptation. Depending on the size of your glass, you may need to adjust other quantities accordingly.

Mocha Martini?

Ooooh, yes, this is definitely one for your sweet tooth or non-coffee lover. Substitute the coffee liqueur for a dark chocolate liqueur. As another variant, you can top it with a marshmallow and even rub chocolate shavings around the rim.

Problems in Making Your Espresso Martini

The most common complaint is there’s not enough froth. A perfectly layered espresso martini will be finished off with a velvety layer of froth of about 1/4 of an inch.

The lack of froth upon straining probably means you have not shaken your espresso martini enough. We are not looking for a vigorous shake it, but it definitely needs a little elbow work. If your first batch lacks the froth, try shaking for 30 seconds longer next time

So Why is There Controversy About Calling it a Martini?

The classics call for a martini made from gin. We’ve tried it with gin, and hmm, no, this isn’t one that you can adapt. The botanical goodness of gin simply doesn’t work with the bitterness of coffee.

The shape of the glass, too, may be variable. A classic martini should be served in a V-shape glass, but even we’ve been guilty of using a wine or coupe glass, anything on hand, really!

The flat white is an Aussie coffee favorite, whilst Baileys Irish Cream is the beautiful creamy kicker guaranteed to kick off (or end!) your evening.

I used to be an ‘on the rocks’ kinda girl when it came to Baileys, until this little gem came into my life (OK, and we finally invested in a Nespresso machine – why did I delay this purchase so long!!)

It is a classy, elegant, slightly creamy drink that can be spruced up to suit your tastes.

The froth on the top is perfected by shaking for just the right amount of time without vigorously going over the top!

For the perfect garnish a few coffee beans, but if you’re using pod coffee at home, I know this can be a tall ask!
