Two white chocolate martinis with sugar crystal rimmed martini glasses on white fabric with a red door background.

I am dreaming of a White Christmas, in the form of a Snowflake Martini that is! My days of shoveling snow are behind me, but I still needed something a little bit icy to help me celebrate this year. So I took my Liquefied Ghost Martini from Halloween, and gave it a bit of a makeover.

My first thought was a “melted snowman”, but that would be more appropriate for the end of winter, not the beginning. Then I came across these decorative sugar crystals in the pantry, and they reminded me of snowflakes…BAM, Snowflake Martini!

What’s in a Snowflake Martini?

  • peppermint schnapps – 101 Peppermint Thunder if you can find it.
  • vanilla vodka – I used Absolut.
  • Godiva white chocolate liqueur.
  • heavy cream – substitute coconut cream or cashew milk for dairy-free.
  • sugar crystals to decorate the rim of the glass.

How do you make a Snowflake Martini?

Pour a small amount of vodka onto a small plate, and a small amount of sugar crystals onto a second plate. Set aside.

Add 1 cup of ice to cocktail shaker. Pour in all ingredients, shake to combine.

I used unsweetened cashew milk, so mine are not white….but I can actually drink them so it’s worth it.

The peppermint schnapps gives them their cool, iciness, but it’s not enough to be overpowering. They are still creamy and delicious…with a kick!
