A sweet and chocolate-yย Birthday Cake Martini recipe to toast any birthday girl!!

A sweet and chocolate-y Birthday Cake Martini recipe to toast any birthday girl!! During the chaos of getting ready for baby, I totally forgot my birthday is just aroundย the corner. I havenโ€™t even had time to think about celebrating it, let alone come upย with birthday recipes like Iโ€™ve done in previous years (Strawberry Lavender Cake,ย Birthday Ice Cream Cake). Letโ€™s face it, I wonโ€™t have time to do any of these and I amย sure once the day rolls around I will probably not even realize it is my birthdayย since the little oneย will be here (hopefully!!).

I figuredย I could celebrate my birthday early and virtually with you guys (you don’t mind do you?). I had a birthdayย cake martini last year at some bar and itโ€™s been on my to-make list since then. Thisย seemed like the perfect time to recreate it at home and raise a toast toย 31-years of birthdays!

Birthday Cake Martini

As the name implies, a birthday cake martini is sweet, should taste like a birthdayย cake and should involve sprinkles!! You will find all of the above in this cocktail. Forย this recipe, I used Whipped Vodka, White Chocolate Liqueur (Godiva),ย Amaretto and Coconut Cream (you can use half and half for this instead) toย accomplish the goal of the perfect birthday cake martini. Theย hubs (my resident cocktail taster these days) loved itย and he usually doesnโ€™t do sweet drinks. I should also say, leaving out the alcoholย (replacing with melted white chocolate and heavy cream) was also a great mocktail!

So believe me when I say this birthday cake martini is sweet, delicious and theย perfect celebration cocktail. From now on, I say we only drink pretty cocktails, folks.ย Life is too short to NOT have sprinkles on your cocktail glass ๐Ÿ™‚
