Butterscotch Martini
Butterscotch Martini
This butterscotch martini is sweet, smooth, and perfectly indulgent. Made with butterscotch schnapps and finished with a dash of cream, this golden cocktail tastes like dessert in a glass. Rimming the glass with butterscotch syrup adds an extra layer of sweetness and makes it look just as good as it tastes.
It’s the perfect drink for holiday parties, girls’ nights, or anytime you want an easy cocktail that feels special with very little effort.

Jennie’s Thoughts
This is one of my favorite dessert cocktails because it’s so easy but feels a little fancy. The butterscotch flavor is warm and comforting, and the splash of cream makes it incredibly smooth. I love serving this when I want something sweet without baking a whole dessert.
