Variations

• Homemade Marshmallow Vodka: Soak marshmallows in plain vodka overnight, then strain for a DIY infusion.

• No Drambuie? Substitute with spiced rum or skip for a simpler drink.

• Chocolate Options: Use dark chocolate syrup for a more intense cocoa flavor.

• Milk Swap: Use dairy-free cream or oat milk for a non-dairy version.

• Extra Boozy: Add a splash of coffee liqueur or chocolate liqueur.

• Garnish Alternatives: Try mini toasted marshmallows on a cocktail skewer or a chocolate-dipped graham cracker.

• Frozen S’mores Martini: Blend ingredients with ice for a slushy version.

• Campfire Flair: Lightly smoke the glass for a subtle toasted scent.

• Holiday Twist: Add a peppermint stick stirrer or a dusting of cinnamon.

Storage/Reheating

This cocktail is meant to be served immediately after shaking.
If making a batch ahead of time, mix all ingredients (except ice and garnish) and chill in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake with ice just before serving.
Do not store the drink with ice, as it will dilute the flavors.
