- Prepare the Glass:
- Rim the glass with whipped cream and then dip it into crushed graham crackers to create a “snowy” effect. Set aside.
- Mix the Cocktail:
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur, chocolate liqueur, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until the mixture is chilled and well combined.
- Serve:
- Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice cubes.
- Garnish:
- Top the cocktail with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder. Add a few mini marshmallows on top for extra festivity.
Tips for Success
- Vanilla Vodka: If you don’t have vanilla vodka, you can use regular vodka and add a splash more vanilla extract.
- Creaminess: For a richer flavor, use more heavy cream and less milk. Adjust to your preference.
- Garnishes: Feel free to get creative with the garnishes. Add a candy cane stirrer or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a festive touch.
