King Cake Martini
Report
Cheers to Mardi Gras and this King Cake Martini! The base of this drink is homemade cinnamon-infused vodka, which is made when cinnamon sticks are placed in a jar with vodka for 5-7 days. When the vodka is cinnamon-y, mix with hazelnut liqueur, white crème de cocoa, coffee liqueur and club soda. This Carnival cocktail looks and tastes like a traditional king cake. What better way to celebrate Mardi Gras than by sipping on a King Cake Martini?

Instructions
Make the Cinnamon-Infused Vodka
- In a mason jar, measure out the vodka.
- Add the cinnamon sticks, breaking in half if too large for the mason jar.
- Infuse for 5-7 days, then remove the cinnamon sticks and strain using a fine mesh strainer.
- Transfer to a clean mason jar, and store until time to make the drinks.
Make the King Cake Martini
- Add the colored sugar rim to the martini glasses: Dip the martini glasses in a shallow dish holding water. Sprinkle the three colored sugars onto a plate, careful to keep them separate. Dip the glasses’ rims into the sugar, and remove. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the hazelnut liqueur, white crème de cocoa, cinnamon-infused vodka and coffee liqueur and add ice.
- Shake vigorously until combined.
- Pour the drink into the prepared martini glass.
- Top with club soda, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Please note that the Cinnamon-Infused Vodka makes enough for EIGHT cocktails, but the cocktail recipe is just for one. You can easily double/triple/quadruple the recipe for cocktails, depending on how many need to be made.
- Please note that the total time does NOT include the 5-7 days for the vodka to infuse.
- If you want to make this without infusing your own cinnamon vodka, consider purchasing one from the liquor store! Several brands make them now.
