Chocolate, peanuts, caramel, and cream—basically all my favorite things in one glass! I’ve always loved Snickers ice cream bars, so turning that into a martini just felt right. This Snickers Martini is rich, creamy, and so indulgent, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s super easy to mix up, and honestly, it’s my go-to when I want a dessert cocktail that feels like a total treat.

Ice Cream Martini Recipe

Hold everything…July is National Ice Cream Month, and I couldn’t be more excited! With the heat in full swing, there’s nothing I crave more than a cold, creamy treat—and for me, that’s always a Snickers Ice Cream Bar. Chocolate, caramel, peanuts, vanilla…it’s basically perfection.

But this isn’t just an ode to ice cream—it’s a martini post! That’s right, I took my favorite frozen dessert and turned it into a cocktail. Because why not sip your favorite flavors, too?

This Snickers Martini has everything I love: rich chocolate, nutty sweetness, and creamy indulgence in every sip. It’s a dessert and a drink all in one—basically, dangerously delicious.

How to Make a Snickers Martini Step by Step

Coat the rim: Dip the rim of the martini glass in caramel sauce, then roll it in chopped peanuts. Place in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes to set the rim. (The caramel sauce might drip if not set…this is an optional step).

Shake: In a shaker, add 2 oz. caramel flavored coffee creamer, 2 oz. low-fat milk, 4 oz. dark chocolate liqueur, 2 oz. Amaretto and ice. Shake to combine.

Two Snickers martinis next to Snickers ice cream bars and a bowl of caramel sauce.

Serve: Pour the martini into a glass and serve cold. Enjoy with a Snickers Ice Cream Bar for extra fun!

How to Store

These are best served as soon as they are shaken and poured, but if you are planning to serve a few, you can rim the glasses and keep them chilled ahead of time.

Serving Suggestions

The caramel sauce and peanut rim is a must for this cocktail. Visually, it’s so appealing, and you get a great nutty hint when you take a sip. I also like to add a little caramel ice cream just before serving for an extra treat! If you don’t have caramel ice cream, try vanilla or pumpkin ice cream.

You’ve taken me back to college days where I lived on Snickers Ice Cream Bars while suffering from lack of air conditioning. Good times…This martini’s would be a HIT at any party or gathering. Pinned.
