Our White Christmas Martini is a lot of fun! The addition of cream and white chocolate play havoc with the clean lines of a classic Martini. Forget all about the understated olive, here we go with coconut, maraschino cherries and marshmallow… If you ever needed an ice breaker or playful, grown-up dessert, this is your answer.

White Christmas Martini

Serves 4

Ingredients

125 ml milk

125 ml pouring cream

150 g white chocolate, chopped

1.5 tbsp desiccated coconut

125 ml Leopard’s Leap Classic Chenin Blanc

125 ml Amarula

60 ml Vodka

To serve: halved marshmallows, Maraschino cherries with stems, Ferrero Raffaello chocolates and ice cubes

Method

Stir milk, cream and 100 g of the white chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Set aside in to cool.

Spread the coconut over a small plate. Melt the remaining 50 g chocolate and spread over another small plate. Dip the rims of your four glasses into the chocolate and allow the excess to drip off. Dip glass into the coconut. Set aside until set.

Thread marshmallows, cherries and Raffaellos onto four bamboo skewers. Combine the milk mixture, vodka, wine and Amarula in a jug. Add ice cubes. Stir to combine. Strain into glasses. Decorate with skewers. Get the party started!
