The aroma of this campfire s’mores martini envelops you, as you bring this decadent dessert cocktail toward your lips. Chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers all come together to create this superb martini reminiscent of summer nights in front of the campfire.

Making s’mores at the end of an amazing day of playing and grilling at the beach is a completely wonderful American experience. But finding or building a campfire on a Thursday evening when you really want to enjoy those same campfire flavors may pose a bit of a challenge. Two martini glasses and a few ingredients can change all that.

This is your favorite summertime treat -- all grown up into the campfire s’mores martini. Enjoy one anytime: summer, winter, spring or fall. Kick off your heels and pour one tonight!

Campfire s’mores martini

Serves 2

Ingredients:

3 ounces Smirnoff Fluffed Vodka
1-1/2 ounces crème de cacao
3/4 ounce Kahlua
3 ounces vanilla creamer
Ice
2 teaspoons melted chocolate
Graham cracker crumbs
2 toasted marshmallows dipped in melted chocolate and graham cracker (optional garnish)

Directions:

Rim two martini glasses with graham crackers, by coating the rim with crème de cacao and then dipping in a shallow plate filled with graham crackers. Pour 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate in the bottom of each glass. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine vodka, crème de cacao, Kahlua and creamer. Shake to combine. Using a strainer, pour into two prepared martini glasses.
Garnish with dipped toasted marshmallows.
Serve and enjoy!

Tip
^ Create a fun garnish by hand dipping marshmallows in melted chocolate (covering the lower 2/3 of the marshmallow). Then, swirl the marshmallow in graham cracker crumbs. Allow to set. Place lollipop stick in the chocolate dipped side. Using a kitchen torch or candle lighter, toast the uncoated portion of the marshmallow... and you have a beautiful s'mores garnish.
