S'more Martini Recipe

Rim the glass

Chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Spread the graham cracker crumbs on a small plate. If using marshmallow fluff, spread a thin layer of fluff around the outer rim of the glass (or run a lemon wedge around rim to wet). Dip the rim into the graham cracker crumbs, twisting to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

Decorate inside of glass

Drizzle chocolate sauce inside the chilled glass in a spiral or zigzag pattern so it clings to the sides. Return the glass to the freezer while you prepare the cocktail.

Prepare marshmallows for toasting

Thread 3 mini marshmallows onto each skewer. If you have a culinary torch, keep it ready; otherwise have a gas burner or broiler available for toasting.

Add the vanilla vodka, white creme de cacao, chocolate liqueur, and heavy cream (or half-and-half) into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. The cream softens the liqueur and adds a rich, s'mores-like mouthfeel.

Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the outside is frosty. This chills and dilutes the drink to the correct balance.

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Fine-strain the cocktail from the shaker into the prepared glass to avoid large ice chips. If you prefer a slightly frothier top, double-strain through a fine mesh.

Quickly toast the marshmallows: using a culinary torch, gently rotate each skewer and toast the marshmallows until golden-brown and slightly charred. If using a gas burner or broiler, be careful to toast quickly and evenly to avoid melting them into a mess.

Perch the toasted marshmallow skewer across the rim of the glass (or rest inside). Optionally, add an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce over the marshmallows or a light dusting of graham cracker crumbs on top of the drink.

Serve immediately while marshmallows are warm. Provide a napkin and advise sipping with or without a marshmallow bite — the toasted marshmallow will melt a bit into the martini for an authentic s'more flavor.
