Blue Marshmallow Peeps Martini
Peeps and Chocolate Bunnies have long been symbols of Easter joy, bringing back nostalgic memories of childhood. In this blog post, I’m excited to share a creative and delicious twist on the traditional Easter treats: the Blue Marshmallow Peeps Martini.
Whether you’re celebrating with family or friends, this cocktail promises to add a fun and festive touch to your Easter gathering.
The Inspiration Behind the Martini
My sister’s and I have been munching on Peeps since we were little kids. Even as adults my sister Fran still sends me a little Easter basket which always includes a sleeve of Peeps!!
Well if only we could be together this years because they would get such a kick out of my Blue Marshmallow Peep Martini!
Infusing the Vodka with Marshmallow Magic
To achieve the perfect marshmallow flavor, I opted for a unique approach.
Instead of using pre-made marshmallow vodka, I infused high-quality Tito’s Vodka with mini marshmallows.
The result? A subtly sweet and mellow marshmallow taste that forms the base of our delightful martini.
How to Infuse the Vodka
- Measure two shots of vodka per drink in a large container.
- Add a little extra vodka, as marshmallows absorb it.
- Stuff the container with mini marshmallows and let it marinate overnight.
Crafting the Blue Marshmallow Peeps Martini
I wanted a drink to match the Peep color so that’s how my daughter Lauren and I came up with Blue!
Blue Curacao has a light orange flavor so it pairs nicely with the Marshmallow Infused Vodka.
Lauren thought the drink should be a pretty sky blue so we decided to make it creamy with Coconut Milk. Wow what a great combo this is!
Blue Peeps Martini Recipe
- 2 oz Marshmallow Infused Vodka (Tito’s)
- 1 oz Blue Curacao
- 2 oz Coconut Milk
- Combine the ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker.
- Shake well and strain into a martini glass.
Garnishing the Martini
To complete the Easter-themed experience, garnish the martini glass with a Blue Peep.
Make a small slice on the bottom of the Peep to hang it on the edge of the glass, adding a whimsical touch to your festive drink.
