Creamy White Christmas Cocktail: Flavour and Consistency

This creamy white Christmas cocktail is smooth, sweet, and deeply aromatic. It opens with the warmth of vanilla, followed by soft white chocolate and a gentle hint of vodka. The result is rich yet balanced – a velvety, dessert-like drink that tastes as luxurious as it looks. Every sip feels festive, indulgent, and cozy.

Ingredients You’ll Need for This Recipe

• Vodka: Use regular or vanilla vodka for the base. Vanilla vodka adds a subtle sweetness and enhances the flavour beautifully, but plain vodka works just as well.
• Crème de cacao (white): Light (white) crème de cacao gives this creamy white Christmas cocktail its signature flavour – delicate, sweet, and gently chocolatey. You can use any white chocolate liqueur for a similar effect.
• Vanilla seeds: Use half a vanilla bean, split and scraped, for that natural vanilla fragrance and tiny specks that make the drink look beautiful.
• Ice: A handful of ice chills the mixture perfectly, creating a smooth, frothy texture when shaken.
• White chocolate (optional): Shaved white chocolate adds a lovely decorative touch and an extra hint of sweetness for garnish.
