No, Martini’s typically feature chilled Martini glasses, and cocktails that have been shaken with ice and strained. A Martini without ice is often called “Dry”.
Martinis feature Vodka, but dessert Martini’s may contain additional flavors and liqueurs. In addition they generally feature imaginative and tasty rims.
Since Dessert Martini’s are generally sweeter, they tend to go beautifully with appetizers that are salty. In fact, Dessert Martinis are often served with Charcuterie Boards.
Dirty Dessert Martinis are unlikely. ‘Dirty’ usually refers to olive brine, which is not very complementary to Dessert Martini flavors. So your Dessert Martini cannot be Dirty- but you and your crazy antics could be an entirely different story!
We love to pour a dessert cocktail into the prepared glass. While the traditional Martini may garnish with only an olive, Dessert Martinis get creative. You can dip the rim in flavored sugar, cookies, finely crushed graham crackers, even crushed pieces of candy. The rim of the cocktail glass allows you to introduce texture, contrast, even spice. You can also position a fruit wheel or attractive flourish on the edge of the glass.

Is there a higher purpose for my apple butter? I found it.
Great recipe!
I expected this to be sweet- but to my delight it was smooth and subtle- delicious Fall flavors
This sounds delicious! So pinning it.
I had a jar of apple butter in left over from a recipe and I wasn’t sure what to do with it. This martini was perfect for using it up. I made it two nights in a row it was so delicious.
