Toasted S’mores Martini Cocktail Recipe
I love how this drink brings together the cozy taste of toasted marshmallows with smooth chocolate and creamy liqueur. It’s a fun dessert cocktail that looks fancy but is surprisingly easy to make at home with just a few tools and ingredients.
Equipment
To make this martini, I grab a few bar essentials and a couple of kitchen tools. A cocktail shaker really helps blend the flavors. I always use a martini glass for serving because it lets those layers and garnishes shine.
- Cocktail shaker with strainer
- Martini glass or coupe glass
- Small plate for graham cracker crumbs
- Measuring jigger or shot glass
- Spoon or stir stick
- Kitchen torch or lighter for toasting marshmallows
- Small bowl for melting chocolate or holding syrup
- Tongs for handling hot marshmallows
I swear, using a chilled glass keeps the drink colder and makes the texture even creamier.
Ingredients
This cocktail blends creamy, chocolate, and marshmallow flavors. I usually reach for marshmallow vodka or whipped cream vodka for sweetness, and chocolate liqueur like Godiva for richness.
- 1 ½ oz marshmallow vodka or vanilla vodka
- 1 oz chocolate liqueur or Irish cream liqueur
- ½ oz half-and-half or heavy cream
- ½ oz chocolate syrup or chocolate sauce
- 1 tbsp graham cracker crumbs for glass rim
- 1 tsp marshmallow fluff (optional for garnish)
- 1 jumbo marshmallow, toasted
- Crushed graham crackers for decoration
Sometimes I tweak the sweetness by adding a little extra chocolate syrup, or I’ll swap in Irish cream for a smoother flavor.
Instructions
I start by prepping the glass. I dip the rim in chocolate syrup, then press it into crushed graham crackers to make a graham cracker rim.
- Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add marshmallow vodka, chocolate liqueur, and half-and-half.
- Pour in a bit of chocolate syrup.
- Shake it up for about 15 seconds until it’s nice and cold.
- Strain everything into the prepared martini glass.
- Toast a jumbo marshmallow with a kitchen torch and pop it on top.
- If you want, drizzle a little chocolate sauce or add a spoonful of marshmallow fluff on top.
That toasted marshmallow aroma really brings a warm, nostalgic touch and balances out all the creamy sweetness.
Notes
I usually go with Godiva chocolate liqueur for a smooth, rich chocolate base, but honestly, any good chocolate liqueur works. If I use vanilla vodka instead of marshmallow vodka, the flavor gets a bit more subtle.
Chilling the glass before pouring definitely helps keep the drink’s texture on point. For a lighter version, I swap out heavy cream for half-and-half.
For garnish, sometimes I’ll crumble extra graham crackers on top or swirl chocolate syrup around the rim. The combo of toasted marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate just makes this a super satisfying, dessert-like cocktail that’s easy to enjoy—or share, if you’re feeling generous.

Notes
Tasting Notes
I take a first sip and instantly taste smooth chocolate, then a hint of toasted marshmallow comes through. The flavor really reminds me of warm s’mores by a campfire, but there’s this creamy, grown-up twist that sneaks in.
The drink feels rich, though not heavy at all. The graham cracker rim gives a little crunch, which cuts through the sweetness in a way I really enjoy.
Chocolate liqueur and vanilla vodka blend together here—it’s sweet, but thankfully not over the top. As the drink warms up a bit, I notice the flavors opening up even more.
A bit of smokiness from the toasted marshmallow sits on top and gives the whole thing a cozy, dessert-like finish.
Texture and Aroma:
- Smooth and silky on the tongue
- Lightly toasted scent from the marshmallow
- Subtle cocoa aroma that lingers after each sip
Each sip feels balanced—sweet, creamy, and just a little smoky. There’s something comforting about it, like a simple treat that’s been made extra special.
