Specialty Martini



While at the Melting Pot with my sister a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to try out a White Creme Brulee Martini (as well as the dessert version, the Creme Brulee Fondue) – a delicious and very indulgent dessert martini.

Some restaurants are finicky about giving out their recipes, but I was able to read the menu and find that they made their Creme Brulee Martini with Stoli Vodka, Monin, and ice cream. With that information, I was able to find a similar recipe on the Monin website.

  • .5 oz White Chocolate Sauce
  • 3/4 oz Monin Creme Brulee Syrup
  • 1 oz Rum or Stoli Vanila Vodka (or Vanilla vodka)
  • 1 1/3 oz Cream or Ice Cream

Combine ingredients in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously. Pour into glass.

The Melting Pot version was a martini glass rimmed with graham cracker crumbs, which was delicious, but you could also do a sugar rim.

If you cannot find Monin Creme Brulee syrup, I’ve also seen recipes that use Frangelico instead, combined with Stoli Vanilla and cream.
