Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or shot glass
  • Hawthorne strainer
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Martini or coupe glass (chilled)
  • Small plate or saucer (for caramel rim)
  • Bar spoon
  • Paper towel (to tidy rim)

Ingredients

  • 2 oz RumChata
  • 1 oz caramel vodka or vanilla vodka
  • 0.5 oz Irish cream liqueur
  • 0.5 oz butterscotch schnapps optional, for extra sweetness
  • 0.5 oz caramel syrup or caramel sauce
  • caramel sauce or sugar for rim, optional
  • ice cubes for shaking

Instructions

  • Rim a chilled martini or coupe glass with caramel sauce (or sugar), if desired.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add RumChata, caramel (or vanilla) vodka, Irish cream, butterscotch schnapps, and caramel syrup.
  • Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the shaker feels icy cold.
  • Strain into the prepared glass. Drizzle a little caramel on top to finish.

Notes

Adjust sweetness with the caramel syrup. For a lighter sip, add a small splash of milk or half‑and‑half. A tiny pinch of sea salt balances caramel beautifully.
