Description
This decadent S’mores Cocktail captures the classic campfire treat in a glass! Vodka and rich chocolate liqueur are shaken until chilled, served in a chocolate and graham cracker-rimmed glass, and garnished with toasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Rim:
- Chocolate syrup
- Graham cracker crumbs
For the Cocktail (Makes 2):
- 4 to 6 ounces vodka (adjust to your preference, 2–3 oz per cocktail)
- 6 ounces chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva or similar)
- Ice cubes
For Garnish:
- 6 large marshmallows
- 2–4 cocktail picks
- 2–3 pieces milk chocolate, broken into small sections
- 1 large graham cracker, broken into pieces
Instructions
-
Prepare the Rim:
- Pour a small puddle of chocolate syrup onto one plate.
- Spread graham cracker crumbs evenly onto another plate.
- Dip the rim of two martini glasses (or other cocktail glasses) first into the chocolate syrup, then immediately into the graham cracker crumbs, rotating to coat the rim evenly.
- Set the prepared glasses aside (you can chill them in the refrigerator or freezer while preparing the rest of the drink).
-
Toast Marshmallows:
- Skewer 1-2 marshmallows onto each cocktail pick (you’ll need 2-4 picks total for garnish).
- Toast the marshmallows until golden brown using either the oven broiler or a kitchen blowtorch.
- Broiler: Place skewered marshmallows on a baking sheet and broil briefly, watching very carefully to prevent burning. Turn as needed.
- Blowtorch: Carefully use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows until golden brown.
- Set the toasted marshmallow skewers aside.
-
Mix the Cocktail:
- Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice cubes.
- Add the vodka and chocolate liqueur to the shaker.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake well for about 15-20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker is very cold.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- Strain the cocktail mixture evenly into the prepared, rimmed glasses.
- Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream (optional, but recommended).
- Garnish each drink with a toasted marshmallow skewer, a small piece of milk chocolate, and a piece of graham cracker.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Vodka: Use your preferred brand of vodka.
- Chocolate Liqueur: Godiva is a popular choice, but other chocolate liqueurs will work.
- Toasting Marshmallows: Be extremely careful when toasting marshmallows, especially under the broiler, as they can catch fire quickly. A kitchen torch offers more control.
- Chilling Glasses: Chilling the glasses after rimming them helps the rim set and keeps the cocktail colder longer.
- Whipped Cream: While not listed in the original ingredients, adding whipped cream (as mentioned in the original step 4) enhances the s’mores experience.
- Variations: Add a splash of cream or half-and-half to the shaker for a creamier cocktail. Use different types of chocolate or graham crackers.
- Serving Suggestions: Perfect for a dessert cocktail or a themed party.
