- 1 oz coconut rum
- 1 oz of white chocolate liqueur
- 2 oz coconut cream

- 2 tbsp honey or simple syrup (for rimming the glass)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Put the rim of your martini glass in honey or simple syrup, and then cover it with shredded coconut.
Step 2: Put stuff in the Shaker
2. Put the vanilla vodka, coconut rum, white chocolate liqueur, coconut cream, and simple syrup (if using) in a cocktail shaker.
Step 3: Put in ice and shake
3. Put ice cubes in the shaker, close it, and shake it hard for about 15 seconds.
Step 4: Strain & Pour

5. Use a toothpick to skewer a big marshmallow and place it on the rim of the glass as the “bunny tail.”
Tips & Variations
- If you don’t want dairy, you can use dairy-free white chocolate liqueur or almond liqueur instead.
- For a stronger drink, add ½ oz more vodka.
- For a sweeter variation, pour a little honey or white chocolate syrup into the glass before you pour.
- For a frozen Bunny Tail Martini, mix everything together with ice.
- Cool off the glass! For an extra icy effect, put your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
- Use coconut cream that is full fat. It makes the drink even creamier and richer.
- Put the coconut in the oven. Lightly toasting the shredded coconut brings out a deeper, nuttier flavor.
- Change the sweetness. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more simple syrup or use sweetened coconut cream.
- Make it even more fun! For a dessert-like touch, dip half of the rim in melted white chocolate before adding the coconut.
Storage & Serving Tips
Best when fresh! If you make it ahead of time, shake it without ice and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Before serving, shake with ice.
And that’s it—your Bunny Tail Martini is ready to sip! It tastes great and is just as fun as it is sweet and creamy. Great for Easter brunch, spring parties, or a night in with friends. Give it a try, snap a picture, and let me know how it went. Cheers! 🍸🐰✨
