This Baileys Chocolate Mint Martini is a fun way to bring a little green to your spring or St. Patrick’s Day.  It is so flavorful with Baileys, Peppermint Schnapps, vanilla vodka and Crème de Cacao.

I made it through another Girl Scout cookie season with plenty of extra boxes to spare.  I may have felt a little bad about the changes this year and purchased a few or ten too many.  What better way to use them up than to make an inspired martini with a Thin Mint cookie garnishment! 

This creamy martini is just so flavorful and like drinking one of these popular cookie delights.  Feel free to leave out the green food coloring if that isn’t your jam.  However, I strongly advise to ensure a nice floating of whipped cream and chocolate shreds make it to the top of every glass.

Needed Ingredients

• Baileys
• Peppermint Schnapps
• Vanilla Vodka (plain will work as well)
• Creme de Cacao Liqueur
• Half & Half or Heavy Whipping Cream
• Optional:  Whipped Cream, Chocolate Shreds, Thin Mint Cookies and Green Food Coloring

Directions

1. In a cocktail shaker, around 1 C. of ice, Baileys, Peppermint Schnapps, Vanilla Vodka, Creme de Cacao Liqueur and green food coloring (optional).
2. Shake until chilled and strain into a martini glass.
3. Add a generous floating of whipped cream.
4. Top with chocolate shreds and a Thin Mint cookie if desired.
5. Enjoy!

Recommended Equipment 

I prefer to use a glass cocktail shaker with measuring lines like this one here.  Just watch out for some cold fingers!  A vigorous shake really cools things up fast.  I use this brand of chocolate liqueur, but any will really do with this recipe. Chocolate curls are easily achieved with a veggie peeler like this one.  Just run the peeler down the side of your preferred candy bar (I prefer dark chocolate).

If you enjoyed this cookie-inspired Baileys Chocolate Mint Martini, be sure to check out my Samoa Cookie Martini.  A Key Lime Pie Martini or Orange Creamscicle Mimosa are two of my most popular spring cocktails.
