Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1 oz amaretto liqueur
  • 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream
  • 0.5 oz blue curaçao
  • 2 tbsp crushed pistachios for rim
  • 1 tbsp honey or simple syrup for rim
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger
  • Fine strainer
  • Martini or coupe glass

Method
 

  1. Chill a martini glass in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  2. Dip the rim in honey, then press into crushed pistachios to coat evenly.
  3. Fill a shaker with ice cubes.
  4. Add vanilla vodka, amaretto, Baileys, and blue curaçao.
  5. Shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the shaker frosts over.
  6. Strain into the prepared glass and serve immediately.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, swap Baileys for coconut cream. For less alcohol, reduce vodka to 1 oz and top with a splash of milk.
