Mixology at Home - Birthday Cake Cocktail

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - If you have a friend or significant other whose birthday is coming up, you might want to surprise them with a special drink.

But you do a search for specialty drinks, and you get recipes with hard-to-find ingredients, too many steps, and those god-awful layered things.

So, here’s a birthday cake cocktail, with sprinkles, that should be easy to make with ingredients you can find locally. Simple and, this you will like, sweet. This is a good Mixology at Home drink.

Good specialty cocktails can be difficult to find. You do a search for specialty drinks, and you get recipes with hard-to-find ingredients, too many steps, and those god-awful layered things. They look nice, great for those social media pix, but god-awful to make and drink.

One caveat though … the honey could be a little of a mess so be careful rimming the glass.

Ingredients

• 2 oz whipped cream vodka (you can use marshmallow or vanilla vodka as well. There also is cake vodka, if you can find it.)
• 1 ½ oz white chocolate liqueur
• 1 oz Amaretto or Frangelico
• 1-2 oz half and half (optional)
• Sprinkles
• Honey

Directions

In a shaker with ice, combine the whipped cream vodka, white chocolate liqueur, Frangelico (my choice), half and half; shake for about 20 seconds, then strain into a martini glass rimmed with sprinkles. To get the sprinkles to stick to the rim, dip the glass into honey (be careful because this could be messy).
