Cocktail Description

The Nutty Nightcap Martini is liquid dessert in a glass—an indulgent symphony of coffee, nuts, and cream that soothes the soul as it satisfies the sweet tooth.

This velvety cocktail balances the clean character of Ketel One vodka with rich layers of Bailey's Irish cream, nutty Luxardo amaretto, and the deep roasted notes of Mr Black coffee liqueur. When shaken with milk and cream, these ingredients transform into a silky, luxurious potion with flavors reminiscent of coffee-soaked biscotti dipped in sweet cream. Perfect for after-dinner sipping or as a nightcap (as the name suggests), this cocktail makes an excellent alternative to traditional dessert when entertaining guests. Despite its sophisticated flavor profile, it's surprisingly straightforward to prepare—just measure, shake vigorously with ice, and strain. Pair this rich libation with lighter desserts like shortbread cookies or biscotti, or contrast its sweetness with dark chocolate truffles for a memorable end to your evening.
