Winter Cocktails: Caramel Snickerdoodle Martini Recipe

Hello everyone! Today I’m sharing my Winter Cocktails: Caramel Snickerdoodle Martini Recipe! If you are participating in “dry January”, maybe save this post for next month. If you’ve looking forward to seeing more winter cocktails on my page, then this one is for you! Keep reading to find out how to make this amazing cocktail and see how ours turned out!

Y’all know that I LOVE a simple cocktail that you can whip up for yourself and/or your guests! This particular martini has ALL the flavor of a snickerdoodle without any of the work of baking cookies! It’s the perfect adult treat, really. I, for one, do not participate in “dry January” like some. No judgement what so ever if you do! I actually envy you. Not to make an excuse BUT there is just too much going on this time of the year. Plus, I selfishly enjoy my glass of wine or cocktail at the end of a long day. Shoot me. I’m not going to leave the people out that are strong enough to give it up for the next 21 days though, so in that case – Whether you’re having people over for the Super Bowl, planning ahead for Valentine’s Day, or looking to spice up a date night at home by the fire with your hubby here in the near future- this is the perfect winter cocktail!

It’s such a cozy time of the year where you can curl up and watch movies and party at home without the pressure of going out. It’s just too dang cold. Us southerners are babies when it comes to the cold okay?! We like the comfort of a delicious cocktail on our SOFA with a nice meal baking in the oven. Sorry not sorry.
