A white chocolate martini is the dessert cocktail that replaces dessert: creamy, lightly sweet, and silky cold. This version skips the heavy cream and the espresso machine. It is built on FLORENA Latte white chocolate liqueur with a splash of cold brew and oat milk, shaken hard for a smooth foam. Four minutes, one glass.
- 2 ozFLORENA Latte White Chocolate Liqueur
- 1 ozCold brew concentrate (smooth coffee note, no machine needed)
- 1 ozOat milk (or whole milk)
- 0.5 ozVodka (optional, for extra strength)
- IceFor shaking
How to Make It
Chill your glass
Place a martini glass or coupe in the freezer for 5 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. A cold glass keeps the drink cold longer.
Build the shaker
Add FLORENA Latte, cold brew concentrate, oat milk, and optional vodka to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice.
Shake hard
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. The hard shake creates the signature espresso martini foam on top — don't shortcut it.
Strain and serve
Empty the ice water from your glass. Double strain into the chilled martini glass. Garnish with 3 espresso beans or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
What makes this white chocolate martini different
A classic white chocolate martini leans on a liqueur and cream. This one is built on FLORENA Latte white chocolate liqueur with cold brew and a splash of oat milk, so it is creamy and dessert-forward without needing an espresso machine or heavy cream. It drinks like the dessert that replaces dessert.
How to get the silky foam
That creamy cap comes from a hard shake. Shake vigorously for fifteen to twenty seconds with plenty of ice; the colder your ingredients and the harder you shake, the better the foam. Double strain into a chilled glass so it settles smooth on top.
Garnish ideas
Keep it simple and chocolate-forward: three coffee beans floated on the foam, a light dusting of cocoa powder, or a few white chocolate shavings on the rim.
Variations
- Mocha version: add a little more cold brew for a stronger coffee note.
- Peppermint white chocolate martini: a drop of peppermint extract for the holidays.
- Extra strength: add half an ounce of vanilla vodka.
Bartender Notes
Cold brew vs espresso
Cold brew concentrate gives a smoother, less bitter coffee flavor. If you want a more intense espresso note, pull a fresh double shot and let it cool slightly before shaking.
The foam
That creamy foam on top comes from the oat milk proteins and the hard shake. The colder your ingredients, the better the foam. Shake like you mean it.
FLORENA Latte
FLORENA Latte is a white chocolate liqueur — naturally creamy, slightly sweet, with clean vanilla and cocoa butter notes. It's rich enough to stand in for both the liqueur and the dairy in a standard espresso martini.
Frequently Asked Questions

White chocolate liqueur is the base. This version adds cold brew and oat milk for a creamy, lightly coffee-kissed dessert cocktail, with optional vodka for extra strength.

Is a white chocolate martini very sweet?
