Description
The Cottontail Martini is a whimsical, Easter-inspired cocktail that blends vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, coconut cream, and milk for a creamy, dessert-like sip. Finished with a coconut rim and a fluffy marshmallow “tail,” it’s a sweet and festive drink that’s as cute as it is delicious.
