- white chocolate liqueur – We used Godiva white chocolate liqueur to make this cocktail. It is a beautiful liqueur and popular choice amongst cocktail enthusiasts but any other brand will also work.

Sure can! Simply multiply the ingredients based on the number of servings needed. The great thing about this martini recipe is that each of the three ingredients are used in equal amounts.
Shaken or stirred?
Your choice! Stir for a silky smooth texture or shake the martini for a frothy top.
Can this cocktail be made dairy free?
Sure! Use a dairy free white chocolate liqueur and replace the heavy cream with almond milk creamer or coconut cream.
What if I can’t find vanilla vodka?
No problem! You can also use plain vodka with a drop of vanilla extract as an alternative.
Can I make this in advance?
This Snowflake Martini is best served right away but you can combine the white chocolate liqueur with the vanilla vodka and add the heavy cream just before serving.
