    A Cherry Cheesecake Martini is the perfect cocktail for Valentine's Day, and just about any other occasion that you can think of! They are the perfect blend of vanilla vodka, cherry juice, and a splash of maraschino cherry syrup.

    Check out the Holiday Martinis page for even more festive, easy to whip up martini recipes for any holiday gathering throughout the year!

    📋What you will need

    • Vanilla Vodka - don't skimp out, it is the primary component in this cocktail!
    • Cherry Juice - it is best to use a pure cherry juice, not a blend or "drink".
    • A maraschino cherry syrup and a few cherries to garnish your drink.

    🍸How to make a Cherry Cheesecake Martini

    I got the idea from UV Vodka, but their version is made with cranberry juice and grenadine? That didn't make any sense to me, so I went with 1 part UV Vanilla Vodka, 2 parts cherry juice, and a splash of maraschino cherry syrup.

    I used 4 shots of vodka and 8 shots of juice to make sure I could fill both martini glasses.

    Shake it up and pour into a chilled martini glass {or two}.

    and garnish with cherries. I used 3 maraschino cherries on cocktail sticks, but you could also use fresh or just drop them into the drink.
