Instructions
Prepare the Glass: Begin by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.
Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine 1.5 ounces of vanilla vodka, 1 ounce of chocolate liqueur, and 2 ounces of milk. If you’re making a non-alcoholic version, use 1.5 ounces of vanilla syrup and 2 ounces of chocolate syrup mixed with soda water instead.
Add Cake Mix: Add 1 tablespoon of red velvet cake mix to the shaker. This will give your martini that distinctive flavor and color. If you’re making it without alcohol, ensure that the cake mix is well incorporated.
Shake It Up: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. You want everything to blend well and chill nicely.
Strain and Serve: Remove the ice from your prepared glass, and strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass. This will keep your drink smooth and free of any ice shards.
Garnish: Top your martini with a dollop of cream cheese frosting. You can also sprinkle some extra red velvet cake mix or cocoa powder on top for added flair.
Enjoy: Sip your delicious Red Velvet Martini and enjoy the sweet, rich flavors that remind you of the classic cake!
