When I took the first sip, it offered a well-balanced combination of sweetness from the caramel elements and creaminess from the dairy, with a hint of saltiness that elevates the overall flavor. Not only does this Martini taste good, but it also has a beautiful presentation with a drizzle of delicate caramel sauce inside the glass. I hope you enjoy it like I do. Here is how to make Salted Caramel Martini:

Ingredients Salted Caramel Martini

  • 60 ml caramel vodka (e.g., Stoli Salted Karamel Vodka)
  • 30 ml caramel liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
  • 30 ml half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 15 ml caramel syrup
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Ice cubes
  • Caramel sauce and sea salt flakes for garnish (optional)

How to make

  1. Prep the glass: Ensure your martini glass is adequately chilled by placing it in the freezer for a brief period or filling it with ice water while you craft your cocktail.
  2. Mix the ingredients: Combine caramel vodka, caramel liqueur, and either half-and-half or heavy cream, along with a generous drizzle of caramel syrup, in a cocktail shaker.
  3. Add salt: Add a pinch of sea salt to the shaker, remember not to overwhelm the mixture; additional salt can be added later according to taste preference.
  4. Add ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top to facilitate proper shaking.
  5. Shake: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake energetically for approximately 15-20 seconds until the contents are thoroughly chilled and frothy.
  6. Prep the glass: Discard the ice water from the martini glass or remove the chilled glass from the freezer.
  7. Drizzle caramel sauce: For added visual appeal and flavor, consider drizzling caramel sauce inside the martini glass, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
  8. Strain the mixture: Carefully strain the salted caramel martini concoction from the shaker into the prepared martini glass.
  9. Sprinkle and serve: For an extra layer of sophistication, sprinkle a few sea salt flakes atop the drink to intensify its subtle saltiness. Your martini is ready to be served.

VARIATIONS: You can create your own Salted Caramel Martini recipe by adding different flavors like syrups, using different types of vodka like apple-flavored vodka (Salted Caramel Apple Martini), different types of cream or milk, or even a touch of chocolate or espresso (Salted Caramel Espresso Martini recipe).
