This Sugar Cookie Martini is the perfect Christmas drink; every holiday needs a signature cocktail. This creamy sweet martini tastes like a sugar cookie and doubles as dessert!
This is an easy 3 ingredient vodka martini that tastes like a sugar cookie! It’s creamy and PERFECT – great all year but especially during the holiday season. A creamy dessert martini that tastes like my favorite cookie! Would the world implode if I dipped sugar cookies in my sugar cookie martini? I’m going to try it and find out!
3 Ingredients Needed
- Vanilla Vodka – if you only have regular vodka on hand, you can use that, I just love the vanilla flavor. You could use regular and add a few drops of vanilla extract too.
- Amaretto – amaretto is one of my favorites for the smell alone! This helps give it that sugar cookie flavor.
- Sugar Cookie Coffee Creamer – this is seasonal for Christmastime. If you don’t have it on hand use vanilla coffee creamer instead and add a few drops of almond extract.
How to make a Sugar Cookie Martini
The perfect dessert martini is has a ratio of 1:1:2. 1 part strong, 1 part sweet, and 2 parts mild. In the case of dessert or sweet cocktails, the “mild” often comes in the form of milk, half and half, or cream. The coffee creamer adds the creamy, mild content, along with a nice dose of sweet and flavor (it actually tastes like a sugar cookie!)

Variations
Can’t find the coffee creamer? Here are some swaps:
- Use vanilla coffee creamer instead.
- Use milk or cream and add a bit of vanilla and almond extracts.
- Use milk or cream and add cookie syrup or sugar cookie syrup (these are both coffee syrups). Torani makes cookie syrup and Skinnymixes makes sugar cookie syrup. They also sell these syrups at the liquor store (i.e. Total Wine or Bevmo).
Expert Tips
- Have your glass chilled for the perfect cold martini.
- Don’t have a cocktail shaker? Use a glass jar instead (with a lid), then strain into your glass.
- Rim your martini glass in sugar by dipping the glass upside down in honey or corn syrup then in sanding sugar.
- You can make this as a party cocktail by just multiplying by the number of servings.
- Garnish with a sugar cookie, if you have them!
