  • Cap the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Pour, strain, and divide the liquid between the two glasses being careful not to pour over the garnished rims. Squirt a good dollop of whipped cream in each glass. Make sure to anchor the whipped cream to the inside of the glasses.

Notes

Helpful tips
  • I love colorful sprinkles so I use them to garnish the rims of the martini glasses. Here's how: Dip your finger in simple syrup and rub it around the rims of the glasses. I try to keep the syrup on the edge of the room and the front of the glass directly below it, but don't go overboard. Sprinkle some colored sprinkles on a small shallow dish and roll the prepared rim in the sprinkles. Shake off to remove any loose balls.
  • If you don't want to buy a new flavored vodka like whipped cream vodka, you can substitute it with vanilla vodka.
  • As far as I know, Godiva has discontinued their liqueurs, which I'm using in this cocktail. So, if you can't find it, just buy another white chocolate liqueur.
  • I'm using DiSaranno amaretto but you can buy any brand of almond liqueur. Or, if you're not fond of almond liqueur, you can substitute white creme de cacao for it.
  • When you pour the ingredients into the prepared martini glasses, don't pour over the sprinkled rim.
  • Another good way to garnish this cocktail is to spread a little vanilla frosting (instead of simple syrup) around the rims of your glasses before dipping them into the colorful sprinkles.
