Easter Peep Martini
These Easter Peep Martini has a sweet, marshmallow flavor that doesn’t overpower. The addition of your favorite pastel colors with a candy Peep garnishment and green sugar rim makes it perfect for spring celebrations.
This cocktail would be perfect for baby or wedding showers. Just eliminate the peep and add different colored sugared rims as desired. It is a perfectly, sweet dessert cocktail that has marshmallow flavors without the overpowering sweetness of an actual peep.
Marshmallow Infused Vodka
It is so simple to infuse your vodka and add a bit of color to it for easy preparation of this Easter Peep Martini. You can use a Mason Jar such as this one. I added around 1 C. of mini marshmallows and a few drops of food coloring to each jar with around 1 C. of Vodka. Let it sit overnight and you will have a nice infused, Marshmallow Vodka. Just ensure that you strain out the marshmallows before using.
You can also, purchase Marshmallow flavored vodka at a liquor or grocery store. I have used Smirnoff Fluffed Marshmallow vodka to make a S’mores Martini and loved the results.
Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
You can purchase Toasted Marshmallow Syrup or make your own. Here is my recipe for it. I have used different syrups by this brand that you could use to make your martini as well. Use any extra to flavor your coffee or lattes.

Peppermint White Russian
This Peppermint White Russian is perfect for entertaining during the holidays with Peppermint Vodka, Kahlua and Half & Half. Add whipped cream and crushed candy canes for a festive topping.
It isn’t the holiday season without a new, festive cocktail here at 3 Yummy Tummies. My Pumpkin Spice White Russian remains one of my all-time favorite fall cocktails. I thought we would bring some winter flavors to the traditional recipe.
This drink is so creamy and delicious with subtle hints of peppermint that don’t overpower the bits of coffee flavor from the Kahlua. There is just something so mesmerizing about the marble effect that is created here. A huge winner in my book!
Needed Ingredients
- 1 part Peppermint Vodka
- 1 part Kahlua
- 1 part heavy cream or Half & Half
- whipped cream topping
- crushed and whole candy canes
Recipe Directions
- Fill a lowball cocktail glass with ice
- Add the Peppermint Vodka and Kahlua (my preference is around 1.5 shots of each)
- Lightly stir to combine.
- Slowly pour the cream over the top.
- Top with whipped cream and a dusting of crushed candy canes.
Variations on the Peppermint White Russian
I prefer Smirnoff Peppermint Twist Vodka in my Peppermint White Russian. You could also make your own Peppermint Infused Vodka at home. The other option, is to use a bit of Peppermint Schnapps with regular vodka. This would be around 1 shot of vodka and 1/2 shot of schnapps with 1 1/2 shots of Kahlua for similar results.
If you want to cut back on calories, I would recommend using 2% milk instead of cream. This still yields a delicious cocktail with the same great flavors. Enjoy the extra room for Christmas cookies!

…
Vampire’s Kiss Martini
This Vampire’s Kiss Martini will make the perfect addition to your upcoming Halloween parties. Vanilla vodka, Amaretto and pineapple juice make this cocktail sweet and flavorful. The addition of a bloody rim made from corn syrup and chocolate syrup creates a spooky presentation.
Each year, I try to create a new Halloween cocktail and this one has to be up there with my Melted Witch Martini. Both martinis are sweet with colorful and festive rims. A fun prop of vampire’s fangs really adds the finishing touch to this fun cocktail.
The fake blood adds such a fun touch and can also be used to create other Halloween cocktails. I also, used it on top of my Zombie Brain Jello shots. It would also be great for drizzling on dessert trays and for a costume prop. A coarse ground sugar mixed with a bit of red food coloring adds the perfect finishing touch.
Needed Ingredients
If you prefer a stronger martini, feel free to increase the vodka to 3 oz. in place of a shot of pineapple juice. You can also use plain vodka if you don’t have vanilla on hand.
- 1.5 oz. Vanilla Vodka
- .75 oz. Amaretto
- 3 oz. Pineapple Juice
- 1.5 oz. Half & Half
Making the Red Rim
The red, sugar rim is made by mixing a few drops of red food coloring in with coarse ground sugar. Complete the rim by running a lime wedge over the top of the glass before dipping onto a plate with the sugar. You can also, use red sugar sprinkles.
- 3 tbsp. of coarse ground sugar
- 2 drops of red food coloring
Making the Fake Blood
The fake blood is simple to make. You will just need corn syrup, a bit of chocolate sauce and red food coloring. I used the below ratios for the perfect bloody color and texture. Feel free to use a bit more of each ingredient as needed for the desired color.
- 3 tbsp. Corn Syrup
- 1/2 Tbsp. Chocolate Syrup
- 3-4 drops of red food coloring
Vampire Fang Placement
Drizzle the fake blood over the vampire fangs and down the side of the martini glass for a creepy effect. I pierced martini picks through the teeth, but you can also just place them over the rim of the glass.

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

Strawberries and Cream Layered Jello Shots
These Strawberries and Cream Layered Jello Shots are a festive Valentine’s Day treat with whipped cream vodka. A heart made out of melted white chocolate and sugar sprinkles makes the perfect topper.
I love how versatile Jello shots are for the holidays. I made these last weekend without alcohol so that my kids could enjoy them as well. The cream layer gets added flavor from pineapple juice and requires gelatin packets for firmness.
Making the Layers:
Layered Jello shots are much easier to make than you think. The hardest part is being patient enough to let each layer set before adding the next one. My Red White and Blue Jell-O Shots are a great example of layering 3 different colors horizontally. These Strawberries and Cream Layered Jello shots are easily made in a beautiful diagonal pattern by letting the first layer set at an angle in muffin tins. You can also, make horizontal layers if you want to take the easier route. Just let each layer firm up for about an hour before placing the next cooled layer.
Making the Heart Topper:
The heart topper can be made out of white chocolate chips or white chocolate melting wafers. I prefer the taste of the Ghirardelli brand for either variety. I added around 1/2 c. of chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl with a dollop of coconut oil. You can also, use a bit of butter instead. Use a sheet of parchment paper as your work service to avoid any sticking.
When microwaving chocolate, ensure that you are only using around 30-50% power to avoid the chocolate hardening when it melts. Stir in 30 second intervals until completely melted. Once the chocolate is melted, place it in a plastic baggie and trim a small slit in one of the corners. Squeeze out the chocolate into a heart shape and sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles immediately. Work quickly to avoid the chocolate hardening!
Needed Ingredients and Supplies for a Strawberries and Cream Layered Jello Shots:
- Clear 2 oz. Shot Glasses
- Muffin Tins
- Parchment Paper
- 1 Box Strawberry Jello
- 1 1/2 C. Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3 tbsps. Sugar
- 2/3 C. Pineapple Juice
- 2 Packs Gelatin
- 1 1/3 C. Whipped Cream Vodka
- Whipped Cream
- Sprinkles
- 2/3 C. White Chocolate chips or Melting Wafers
The shot glasses are available on Amazon. You can also, substitute the more water or pineapple juice in place of the alcohol for a kid-friendly version.
