A Classic Cosmo is perfect for Valentine’s (it’s pink, after all), but if you’re looking for an easy creamy sweet Valentine’s Day dessert martini, look no further. I’m calling this a Sweetie Martini since I made it for Valentine’s Day, but really it’s a strawberry martini with vodka and amaretto. It’s delicious!

A selection of ingredients on a countertop: a carton of half and half, a bottle of Disaronno liqueur, a bottle of Smirnoff Vanilla vodka, and a bottle of strawberry syrup.

Ingredient Notes

  • Vodka: Use your favorite vodka. You can use plain or use a flavored, like whipped or vanilla or even strawberry flavored, if you can find it.
  • Amaretto adds a ton of flavor – it’s one of my favorite liqueurs
  • Strawberry Syrup – you can use ice cream syrup or the kind of syrups coffeehouses use (i.e. Torani or Skinny Mixes). We love the Skinny Mixes Strawberry syrup best.
  • Milk – you can also use half and half or heavy cream (but use whole milk, not fat free)
A hand pours milk into a tall glass filled with ice and pink liquid. The glass has colorful dots and a gold rim. Strawberries and another glass are in the background on a gray surface.

How to make a Martini for Valentine’s Day

  1. Making a martini requires a cocktail shaker and a martini glass – shake all the ingredients and strain into the glass.
  2. You can also turn this easily into a cherry martini by using grenadine.
  3. Garnish with fresh strawberries or raspberries.
  4. Turn it into a chocolate covered strawberry martini by adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce or swapping the amaretto for Godiva’s White Chocolate Liqueur.
A pink cocktail is being poured from a golden shaker into a uniquely twisted martini glass. In the background, there is a white container with fresh strawberries. The setting is on a gray surface.

Expert Tip

If you don’t want to use Hershey’s syrup or Skinny Mixes, you can make strawberry simple syrup: add a carton of strawberries to a pot and mash them. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water and allow to cook until thickened. Puree and use in any cocktail!
