Our pecan pie martini is a perfect blend of nutty and sweet flavors making this cocktail an ideal choice for cozy evenings, holiday events, or simply treating yourself to a sophisticated dessert cocktail. This post is intended for an audience of 21 and over only.
Begin by preparing the glass: On a small plate, spread a layer of brown sugar and crushed pecans. Take the rim of your martini glass and dip it in a little bit of simple syrup and then into the brown sugar and crushed pecans, coating the rim. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine Hennessey, Pecan liqueur, Baileys Irish Cream, and simple syrup. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, allowing the ingredients to mix and chill.
Grab your prepared martini glass and strain the cocktail into it, careful not to disturb the rim. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
A martini typically contains gin or vodka. We subbed that for a cognac. If using vodka, go for a sweeter kind, like whipped cream or vanilla.
