Ingredients for Caramel Cheesecake Martini

- Vegan Caramel Sauce: A sweet and rich sauce that brings the signature caramel flavor to the martini, perfectly complementing the cheesecake profile.

Tips for Making a Caramel Cheesecake Martini
- Adjust the Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness of your martini to suit your taste preferences. If you like it sweeter, add a little more agave or caramel sauce. If you prefer it less sweet, reduce the amount of agave.
- Rim the Glass with Graham Cracker Crumbs: To add that extra touch of cheesecake goodness, rim your martini glass with crushed graham crackers. It not only looks fantastic but also provides a delightful contrast of textures. Or simply add the graham crackers on top of the drink mixture.
- Get Creative with Garnishes: While caramel candies make a lovely garnish, don't hesitate to explore other options. You can use vegan whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder to elevate the presentation and taste.
Commonly Asked Questions about this Caramel Cheesecake Martini
Absolutely! Feel free to use your favorite plant-based milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk. Choose one that complements the flavors you desire.
If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can replace the vodka with an alcohol-free vanilla extract or essence. It will still lend a lovely flavor to the martini.

Caramel Cheesecake Martini
Ingredients
- 1 ounce vanilla vodka (I used Smirnoff)
- 1 ounce kissed caramel vodka (Smirnoff)
- ¾ cup Vanilla Almond Milk
- ½ graham cracker smashed into crumbs
- vegan caramel sauce optional drizzle
- 1 t agave approximately
- caramel candies for garnish optional
Instructions
- Rub agave on the edge of a martini glass. Roll in graham cracker crumbs until coated well. Agave is the best way to get the graham crackers to stick and stay where you put them. If you're not too picky about it, just use water.
- In a shaker, combine both vodkas, ¾ cup almond milk, and a handful of ice. Shake until mixed well.
- Optional: Using a spoon, drizzle on the inside of your martini glass.
- Immediately pour beverage into the martini glass.
- Optional: sprinkle more crushed graham crackers on top of the dessert drink!

I love caramel, but there's literally nothing cheesecake about this except the graham cracker rim :/
Holly Waterfall says
Anne, unfortunately, with drink recipes, the options are a little bit limited. Trying to find the best match to a cheesecake was achieved with cream or milk. I didn't think something like cream cheese (which would obviously be cheesecake authentic) would work too well in an alcoholic beverage like this one. A milkshake, maybe? But not this one. So as a recipe developer, I try as many different ways possible until I come as close as possible and hope my readers will like it as well as I do. I'm sorry it didn't suit your liking.
