“Bilzzard” White Chocolate Martini

A White Chocolate Martini is sweet, boozy and perfect for special occasions.  Celebrate Christmas, toast the New Year, or have a really fun snow day. 

As a food blogger I have to admit—the holiday season might be my favorite time of the year.  Not only is there great food and drink… but you get to decorate it too. 

And the holidays are the perfect excuse for indulging in some special beverages.  Yes, when it comes to boozy drinks, I have two favorite winter categories—hot toddies like a Tom and Jerry or Spiked Hot Chocolate.  And sweet martinis like a Cranberry Martini (aka Cosmo) or Candy Cane Martini.

Of course, today’s White Chocolate Martini is always a favorite.  Like a sweet snowstorm (dusted with coconut “snowflakes” if you wish), it’s perfect to sip in front of a fire.  Or enjoy during a baking frenzy. 

Just sayin’.   

Why You’ll Love This!

Flavorful.  Sweet, creamy and lightly chocolatey, this mellow beverage is a taste delight.

Easy.  Just put a few ingredients with ice in a shaker, shake and pour!

Festive.  Whether you’re serving for Christmas or New Years Eve, making a Valentine’s Day cocktail, or toasting a snow day, a White Chocolate Martini will add to the festivity.

Step by Step Overview

Add a handful of ice to a shaker, then top with all ingredients except the garnish.

Shake vigorously for a minute.

Strain into a martini glass.

If desired, garnish with whipped cream, coconut flakes, cocoa sprinkles or a Godiva chocolate on a cocktail pick.

On Serving Glasses

This size drink will fit well in a smaller martini glass.  But I have to admit that many of the prettiest glasses are quite large,  Alas, the downside of a big glass is that it can make this drink look a little skimpy, even though it has a full serving of alcohol.  

In that case, I simply top the drink with a mound of whipped cream (and some sprinkles).  It’s delicious and this eliminates the temptation to put two drinks worth of alcohol into a single glass.

To Rim or Not to Rim

In some of the photos I rimmed the glass with a little chopped coconut.  Truthfully, while I love the idea, the coconut bits are a bit large for sticking nicely to the glasses.  So if you’d like to rim, something like sugar or white nonpareils would be a better option.

But in the end, I find rimming a little putzy and usually skip it.

Tips & FAQs

For a non-alcoholic approximation, mix a big spoonful of sweetened condensed milk with a teaspoon of cocoa powder and half and half to taste.  Shake with ice to get cold then strain and  serve. 

And speaking of half and half, this is an ingredient I never have in my refrigerator. Since I hate making a special trip to the store, I use a favorite hack. I do always keep cream and milk around, so I mix half milk (any fat level) and half cream for a close enough approximation. 

I sometimes serve my White Chocolate Martinis with individually wrapped Godiva chocolates.  Because there’s no such thing as too much chocolate!
