A delightful twist on the classic vanilla martini, featuring a luscious blend of creamy and sweet flavors.
Fill a martini shaker with ice.
Using fresh ice ensures the drink is chilled without diluting it too much.
Add the vanilla vodka, Irish cream liqueur, half-and-half, and heavy whipping cream to the shaker.
Measure the ingredients accurately for a balanced flavor.
Shake the mixture vigorously until well combined and chilled.
Shake for at least 15 seconds to ensure the drink is properly mixed and chilled.
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
Use a fine strainer to catch any ice shards for a smooth drink.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry before serving.
For an elegant touch, place the cherry on a cocktail pick.
