I was scrolling through Instagram in December and came across a recipe that looked interesting. I do that often, then I write down the ingredients and sometimes forget about it. But sometimes my husband sees the ingredients list and figures it is a shopping list so he asks and in this case we decided, yes, we would try these festive looking martinis. On Instagram it was called a Sugar Cookie Martini so that right there indicates it is a sweet drink. It is, what I think of, as a dessert drink. As with all recipes they need to be adjusted to your individual tastes and this one actually needs to be adjusted to your individual glass because the BEST part of this drink is the beautiful effect. So you need to make sure there is enough liquid to reach the sprinkles. You could always put the sprinkles lower than the rim, I guess.
You need ice, marshmallow fluff, sprinkles, half and half, RumChata, amaretto, vanilla vodka, and simple syrup. Yes, this is a very sweet drink. Remember it is called a SUGAR COOKIE. Of course you can adjust anyway you see fit, but it may not taste like a sugar cookie. But it could still be super pretty if you use the sprinkles.

and this fills our glass TO THE TIPPY TOP.
Put the marshmallow fluff on the INSIDE of the rim. Then put the sprinkles in the glass and flip it over onto a dish that allows you to swirl the sprinkles around to coat the fluff. (My husband found a bowl the size of the glass works best for him)
Then mix your ingredients in a shaker with ice and pour liquid through the strainer up to the rim of the glass and watch the magic happen. “My Herd” did it with Christmas color sprinkles (red, green, and white), but we couldn’t find those and we were doing it for New Year’s Eve so the multi-colored ones were perfect.

I just like to watch this drink because it is so beautiful. As you can see I took many many pictures.
Armaretto is a sweet Italian liqueur which has an almond-like flavor.
RumChata is a cream liqueur that taste like horchata and rum. Horchata is basically milk, cinnamon, and vanilla, but can include other spices.
Simple syrup can be purchased or made-1 part water and 1 part sugar (warm or boil the water to melt the sugar).
So with the armaretto and the RumChata you can tell this is a flavorful drink . . . almond, cinnamon, vanilla . . . like a cookie! 🙂
We have made this a couple of times since I found the recipe! It is beautiful and it is yummy!
