Christmas Cookie Martini

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

It’s Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas Cocktails!  Today I have a almond/orange flavored Christmas Cookie Martini to share.

Christmas Cookie Martini with Almond and Orange LiqueursOriginally I planned to make a sugar cookie martini.  Instead, I came up with this martini, inspired by a cookie I made recently for a cookie roundup with The Bitten Word (check out their site…tons of holiday cookie recipes). My assigned cookie was a Pignoli Cookie and I loved the almond/orange flavor of the cookie, just wasn’t that thrilled with the outcome of the cookie itself.  So I thought, why not turn that wonderful flavor profile into a martini!

Here’s the cookies… pretty though, aren’t they?

Pine Nut CookiesOn a side note, I have a confession to make.  I seem to be having a lot of “senior moments” lately. Take this drink picture for example. You may wonder why, if this martini is inspired by a Pignoli cookie, that I have it garnished with a sugar cookie???? Well, simply because I completely forgot I had the Pignoli cookies in the freezer and had sugar cookie martini on the brain when I went to shoot the photos! I wish I planned better when it comes to taking photos. Or be a master of photoshop. Sadly, I’m neither. Let’s just pretend the sugar cookies are almond/orange flavored cookies.  Yeah, that works for me. Besides, I really didn’t even taste the pine nuts much in the Pignoli cookie anyways.

Okay back to this drink. I bought a container of Baileys Sweet Italian Biscotti coffee creamer last week thinking I might be able to use it in a martini (oh crap! Maybe I should have a biscotti in the picture too?). I know it may sound weird, but flavored coffee creamers work well in martinis.  I used one last year in a Peppermint Mocha-tini that my girlfriends and I loved.  For this Christmas Cookie Martini I started with vodka, then added a bit of the creamer, some almond liqueur and orange liqueur.  To lighten the drink a bit I added a shot of club soda.  I’ve been doing that lately with these sweet, creamy drinks and like the result.
