Ingredients
- Baileys S’mores Liqueur: I used Baileys S’mores liqueur for this cocktail recipe. Please note that this is a limited edition flavor that Baileys released. It has a divine creamy and milky texture. It tastes like toasted marshmallows.
- De Kuyper Crème de Cacao: I wanted to add more chocolate flavor to this martini.
- Vodka: You will need half a shot of vodka for this cocktail. I used Tito’s vodka. Feel free to use any vodka you prefer.
- Half-and-half:
- Ice: I used crushed ice. This will make the drink more frothy.

Equipment and Tools Needed

- Something to measure the liqueur, like a jigger
- Cocktail skewers
How to Make
First, we will start with preparing the martini glasses:
- Crush graham crackers and place them on a plate. Pour Hershey’s chocolate syrup on another plate.
- Dip the rim of the martini glass in chocolate, then in graham cracker crumbles.
- Place the glass into a freezer for 10 – 15 minutes.
While the glass is in the freezer, prepare the garnishes:
- Take a marshmallow and poke it with a cocktail skewer.
- Dip the marshmallow into chocolate syrup and graham cracker crumbles.
- Also, if you want to make it fancier, carefully torch the marshmallow when you serve the drink.
Make the martini:
- Add crushed ice, Baileys, DeKuyper Crème de Cacao, Vodka, and half-and-half.
- Shake vigorously for 5 – 10 seconds.
- Using a mesh cocktail strainer, pour the martini into a chilled glass.
- Place the cocktail skewer with marshmallow onto the rim of the glass. Serve immediately!
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Use crushed ice: I always use crushed ice when making a martini that includes half-and-half or milk. This will make the cocktail frothier.
- Chill the glass: To avoid a mess with chocolate syrup and to keep the cold cocktail longer, chill the glass for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Shake vigorously: This step is crucial. To ensure all ingredients will be blended and create a beautiful frothy foam, you will need to shake the cocktail shaker well.
Substitutions and Variations
- Use marshmallow vodka: Since the main ingredient for this cocktail is a limited edition, and you can’t find Baileys S’mores flavor, use marshmallow vodka instead. In this case, I would use the original Baileys flavor.
- Use Kahlua: To add more coffee flavor, use Kahlua instead of DeKuyper Crème de Cacao.
- Omit DeKuyper Crème de Cacao: If you prefer not to mix any other flavor, use only Bailey’s S’mores liqueur. Use 3 oz of Bailey’s S’mores liqueur.
How to Toast a Marshmallow Indoors
Be very careful when toasting a marshmallow indoors. Here are some pretty quick options:
- Using a gas stove.
- Using a lighter.
- Using a kitchen torch.
How to Serve
If you are in a hurry, you can skip adding garnishes, but always serve this martini in a chilled glass. You can always place the martini glasses in the freezer in advance and then use them when needed.
FAQ
No, this is optional. Toasted marshmallows serve as a garnish. Add it to your drink or rim a glass with chocolate and crushed cookies for a more straightforward preparation.
Use a sizable classic martini or coupe glass. This martini has many ingredients, so please ensure the glass is large enough to avoid spilling.
