Ingredients

1 ½ oz (45 ml) vodka
1 oz (30 ml) butterscotch schnapps
½ oz (15 ml) Irish cream liqueur (optional for creaminess)
½ oz (15 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half (optional for extra creaminess)
Ice cubes (for shaking)
Optional garnish: caramel drizzle, whipped cream, or crushed butterscotch candies

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1
Start by preparing your martini glass. To add a decorative touch, drizzle caramel sauce around the inside of the glass or dip the rim into crushed butterscotch candies.

Step 2
In a cocktail shaker, add a generous handful of ice cubes. This helps chill the drink, making it smooth and refreshing.

Step 3
Pour the vodka and butterscotch schnapps into the shaker. If you’d like a creamier drink, add Irish cream liqueur and heavy cream or half-and-half.

Step 4
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This ensures the ingredients are well-combined and perfectly chilled.

Step 5
Strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass. The cocktail should have a silky texture and a frothy top from the shaking.

Step 6
(Optional) Garnish with a swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed butterscotch candies, or even a dash of caramel drizzle on top.

Notes

Make sure to shake the ingredients with ice for the full 15-20 seconds. This not only chills the drink but also helps create a slight frothiness that adds a luxurious texture. If you want a thicker, more dessert-like consistency, use half-and-half or heavy cream, but keep in mind this will slightly dilute the alcohol strength.
