Ingredients You’ll Need for A Caramel Snickerdoodle Martini

- Cinnamon Sugar: A blend of cinnamon and sugar gives the glass rim a festive, sweet, and spiced coating that adds a nice crunch with every sip.
- Heavy Cream: Creamy and rich, this helps balance the sweetness and gives the cocktail its smooth texture.
- Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka: The star of the show! This flavored vodka adds a deep caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with the cinnamon and cream.
- Ground Cinnamon: Just a dash of cinnamon in the cocktail adds warmth and a hint of spice to balance the sweet caramel.
- Ice: You’ll need ice to shake and chill the cocktail, making it smooth and refreshing.
- Whipped Cream: A fun, creamy topping that makes the martini feel extra indulgent. Use store-bought or whip your own.
- Cinnamon Stick (for garnish): This finishing touch adds a beautiful visual element and enhances the spicy aroma as you sip.
