While out to dinner with friends, my husband sent me a photo of the cocktail menu of the restaurant where they were dining. I immediately responded that I was going to need him to figure out how to make me the Crème Brûlée Martini, which he got to work on the very next day.
This might just be the best martini, I’ve ever had, though our Gingerbread Martini is up there on my list of favorites, as well.
It’s made with vanilla vodka, Irish creme liqueur and white chocolate liqueur. A splash of heavy cream makes it a bit richer in flavor.
I like to line the glass in caramel sauce for even more sweetness in every sip, but that part is optional.
