Introduction

The Samoa Martini captures the beloved flavors of the classic Girl Scout cookie — chocolate, caramel, and coconut — and turns them into an irresistible dessert cocktail. Creamy, sweet, and perfectly indulgent, this drink is sure to delight your taste buds and impress your guests.

Ingredients

1 1/2 ounces creme de cocoa
1 1/2 ounces vodka
2 ounces cream of coconut
1 ounce caramel sauce
1 ounce fudge sauce
Chocolate drizzle for garnishing glass
Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Toasted coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of your martini glasses. Place the glasses in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Step 2: In a shaker, combine creme de cocoa, vodka, cream of coconut, caramel sauce, and fudge sauce. Use a whisk, immersion blender, or frother to blend everything well, ensuring the sauces are fully incorporated.
Step 3: Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
Step 4: Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glasses.
Step 5: Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut, if desired. Garnish with a Samoa cookie on the rim for an extra touch of fun.

Tips & Variations

For an extra decadent twist, add one scoop of vanilla ice cream to the glass after pouring the cocktail to create a boozy float.
Use cream of coconut, not coconut cream, to get the perfect sweetness and texture—these two are not interchangeable.
Toast coconut at home by spreading shredded coconut on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Mid-range vodka such as Tito’s is perfect for this recipe; no need for a top-shelf bottle.

Storage

This Samoa Martini is best enjoyed immediately while cold and fresh. If you need to prepare it ahead, keep the mixed cocktail refrigerated for up to 24 hours and stir before serving, but add ice and garnishes just before serving for the best texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

What is the difference between cream of coconut and coconut cream?

Cream of coconut is a sweetened, syrupy product often used in cocktails, adding both sweetness and coconut flavor. Coconut cream is thicker and unsweetened, making it unsuitable for this recipe. Be sure to use cream of coconut to get the right sweetness and consistency.

Can I make this martini without alcohol?

You can create a non-alcoholic version by omitting the creme de cocoa and vodka. Substitute with chocolate and coconut-flavored syrups or non-alcoholic liqueurs designed for cocktails, then follow the same mixing instructions.
