White chocolate liqueur was recently on sale at my local wine and liquor store, so I added a bottle to my pickup order and started searching for ways to use it. This recipe for a White Chocolate Espresso Martini is currently one of my favorites!
It takes very little effort and only uses three ingredients. You can of course dress it up based on what you have available.
Start by prepping the glasses. Chill the martini glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Before making the co*cktail, I coated the rim with white chocolate ganache.
You can also drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of the glass or coat the rim in chocolate sauce and cover with chocolate (or white chocolate) shavings.
In a co*cktail shaker filled with plenty of ice, combine the white chocolate liqueur, vodka, and espresso. Shake until well blended and pour into the prepared martini glass. Serve the co*cktail immediately.
If desired, top with a strawberry, chocolate (or white chocolate) shavings, and/or a sprig of fresh mint.
Don’t have white chocolate liqueur? You can also make your own! Check out this recipe from Manu’s Menu.
I used a whipped cream vodka. If you don’t have that or vanilla vodka, add a small splash of vanilla extract for an extra boost of flavor.
White Chocolate Ganache
A quick and easy way to make a white chocolate ganache sturdy enough to not fall off the rim is to combine 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in-between, until smooth and creamy. If the ganache is too thin, stir in a few more white chocolate chips. If it is too thick to pipe, add a small splash of cream at a time.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and carefully pipe along the rim of the chilled glasses. If needed, place the glasses back in the freezer to help the ganache set.
