Ingredients
- 1.5 ounces whipped vodka or vanilla vodka
- 1.5 ounces coconut rum
- 2 ounces half and half
- 1/2 ounce cream of coconut
- Splash of pineapple juice
- Honey, chopped sweetened coconut, and mini marshmallow to garnish
- If you want it Pink, put a layer of pink cotton candy on the bottom, before adding the other ingredients, or you can add strawberry syrup, or even a little food grade coloring.
Instructions
- Begin with two shallow dishes. To one, add a teaspoon of honey. To the other, add the sweetened coconut. (I recommend giving the coconut a rough chop before using.) Rim the edge of the martini glass first in the honey and then in the coconut. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the whipped vodka, coconut rum, half and half, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice.
- Shake vigorously; then strain into your prepared martini glass.
- As a final garnish, cut a small slit in a marshmallow and hang it on the edge of the glass.
Notes
Make it a Mocktail
I’m certain that everyone, including children, will want to partake in a cottontail martini. If you want to create this recipe for kids (or adults that don’t imbibe), just substitute the rum and vodka with milk.
