    Ingredients for Caramel Cheesecake Martini

    • Vanilla vodka: Adds a smooth and fragrant vanilla flavor to the martini.
    • Kissed caramel vodka: Infuses the cocktail with a luscious caramel essence for a decadent twist.
    • Vanilla Almond Milk: A creamy and plant-based alternative to traditional dairy milk, adding a subtle vanilla undertone to the drink.
    • Graham Cracker: Provides a delightful crumbly texture and a hint of graham cracker crust reminiscent of a classic cheesecake.
    • Vegan Caramel Sauce: A sweet and rich sauce that brings the signature caramel flavor to the martini, perfectly complementing the cheesecake profile.
    • Agave: A natural sweetener that balances the flavors and adds a touch of sweetness to the cocktail.
    • Caramel candies (optional): A delightful addition for those looking to make their martini extra fancy. These caramel candies can be used as a garnish, adding a visually appealing element to the drink.

    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

    Can I use a different type of plant-based milk instead of almond milk?

    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.

    Can I substitute the vodka with another alcohol?

    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.

    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 5 minutes minutes

    Author: Cindy

    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!
