This creamy and dreamy cocktail simply screams PARTY, but you don’t have to wait for your birthday celebration to enjoy this drink. In fact, once you taste it, you’ll want to drink it frequently. Just wait and see.

Helpful tips
- For sprinkle rims, dip a finger in simple syrup and run it around the edge of the glass. Roll the rim in a shallow dish of sprinkles, then gently tap off the excess. Try to keep the syrup mostly on the rim so the sprinkles stay neat.
- If you do not want to buy whipped cream vodka, vanilla vodka is a good substitute.
- Godiva liqueurs have been discontinued, so if you cannot find it, use another white chocolate liqueur instead.
- I use Disaronno, but any almond liqueur works. If almonds aren’t your thing, white crème de cacao is a good alternative.
- When pouring the cocktail, aim for the center of the glass so you do not wash the sprinkles off the rim.
- For an extra dessert-like finish, you can use a thin layer of vanilla frosting instead of simple syrup before dipping the rims in sprinkles.
