Celebrate the holiday season with my recipe for a White Christmas Martini. Garnished with a sparkly sugared rim, this cocktail is like an adults-only white chocolate milkshake in a martini glass. You’re going to love it.
White Christmas Martini:
Whenever I’m celebrating a special holiday or occasion, I think it’s fun to concoct a signature holiday cocktail. Given that the holiday season is so long, having several seasonal recipes is a smart move.
How to Make a White Christmas Martini:
A few years ago I created this White Christmas Martini recipe and realized I never shared it here on IBC. Given that it’s one of my favorite holiday libations, I had to rectify that!
In addition to its creamy, chocolaty flavor, what I love about this martini is that it’s not Christmas specific. It’s enjoyable with an adorable mini candy cane garnish for the season, but this recipe will take you well into the winter months. It’s seasonal without being overly festive.
Grab your cocktail shaker and let’s mix one up.
As you will soon discover, this is cocktail that most people will love. The ingredients are simple and approachable.
If you’re hosting a large party, you can mix up this cocktail in advance. Increase the amounts of each ingredient and add everything to a pitcher. When guests are ready, they can just shake up a serving with ice and add it to their martini glass. It’s that simple.

Somehow missed the chocolate liqueur when I wrote my list. I got the vanilla vodka and the creme de cacao. Think it would be still good if I use 3 oz of the creme de cacao?
