Baileys Martini With Vodka
Baileys Martini is my go-to when I’m craving something creamy, boozy, and irresistibly smooth. It’s like dessert in a glass! I love how the rich Irish cream cocktails blend perfectly with vodka for the ultimate indulgence. It’s sweet, slightly chocolatey, and oh-so-satisfying.
Plus, it’s ridiculously easy to make—just shake, pour, and sip!
Want to make the best Baileys Martini? I’ve got all the tips to get that velvety, bar-quality finish.
And let’s not forget garnishes! A drizzle of chocolate or a dusting of cocoa takes it to another level. If you’re a martini lover like me, I’ve also included more fun recipes to try.
So grab your shaker, and let’s make a Baileys Martini!ds
How to Make the Best Baileys Martini
Making a Baileys Martini is dangerously easy—like, “Oops, I just made three” easy. That’s why I love it!
First, grab a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. The more, the merrier! Cold drinks are always better, and nobody wants a lukewarm martini.
Now, pour in that smooth Baileys, a splash of vodka, and a little cream for extra richness. If you’re anything like me, you’ll take a second to appreciate the magic happening between baileys and vodka in that shaker.
Time for the fun part—shake it like you mean it! I like to pretend I’m in a fancy bar, even if I’m in my pajamas. Shake until everything is perfectly chilled and mixed.
Now, grab your martini glass. If you’re feeling extra fancy, drizzle some chocolate inside. Swirl it around like you’re painting a masterpiece—because, honestly, you are.
Carefully pour your Baileys Irish Martini into the glass, watching that creamy goodness settle. If you want to be extra indulgent, top it with whipped cream or a sprinkle of grated chocolate.
Personally, I can never say no to chocolate! Take a sip and enjoy—because you just made the best vodka and Baileys drink ever!
The Best Garnishes for a Baileys Martini
Garnishes are the cherry on top—or in this case, the chocolate on top—of a perfect Baileys Martini! I love how the right garnish can take a simple cocktail and turn it into something unforgettable.
Here are my favorite ways to dress up this creamy masterpiece!
Whipped Cream: Because More Cream Is Always a Good Idea!
I love adding whipped cream to my Baileys Martinis or Baileys Irish Cream drinks! It’s like putting a fluffy little cloud on top of perfection. Plus, it makes every sip feel extra indulgent. Want to take it up a notch? Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel on top. Now you’ve got a masterpiece!
Chocolate Shavings: Fancy but Effortless
As mentioned, chocolate shavings make any drink feel fancier, and I’m all for effortless elegance. Just grab a chocolate bar and grate away! I like using dark chocolate for a little bitterness to balance the sweetness.
But honestly, any chocolate works—because, let’s be real, chocolate is never a bad idea.
Cocoa Powder: Perfection!
If you want a more subtle chocolate touch, cocoa powder is your best friend. A light dusting on top makes your Baileys Martini look straight out of a cocktail bar. Plus, it gives that first sip an extra rich flavor. Just don’t sneeze while sprinkling—it gets messy fast!
Chocolate Drizzle: The Best Showstopper
Drizzling chocolate inside the glass? Now we’re talking! This is my favorite trick because it makes the martini look ridiculously good. Just swirl the glass and let the chocolate do its thing. The best part? It adds an extra chocolatey surprise with every sip.
Crushed Cookies: Because Why Not?
Crushed cookies on the rim? Absolutely. I love using Oreos or shortbread for a fun, dessert-like twist. Just dip the glass in some Baileys, then coat it with cookie crumbs. It’s the ultimate treat and totally worth the extra step!
If you enjoy Baileys like I do, try these Baileys Jello Shots–delish!
