The Italian Wedding Cake Martini

The Italian Wedding Cake Martini was created by mixologist Lynn Dobrowolski at the Tom Quick Inn in Milford, Pennsylvania.

You can add a decorative rim to your martini glass by moistening the rim with orange or pineapple juice, then dipping it into a mixture of vanilla sugar and coloured sugar.

Other Variations of the Wedding Cake Martini:

There are several other variations of the Wedding Cake Martini that you can experiment with:

• One version brings chocolate into the mix by shaking 1 ounce each of vanilla vodka, white crème de cacao, and pineapple juice.
