Ingredients
- 2 ounces Vanilla vodka
- 1 ounce Amaretto liqueur
- 1 ounce Irish cream liqueur
- 1 ounce Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cookies Nilla Wafers (crushed, for rim)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or simple syrup

Instructions
Start by preparing the glass. Crush 3 Nilla Wafers into fine crumbs and place them on a small plate.
Pour 1 tablespoon of honey or simple syrup onto a separate small plate.
Dip the rim of a martini glass into the honey or simple syrup, then immediately dip it into the crushed Nilla Wafers to coat the rim evenly. Set the glass aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Add 2 ounces of vanilla vodka, 1 ounce of amaretto liqueur, 1 ounce of Irish cream liqueur, 1 ounce of heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the shaker.
Securely close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, or until the mixture is well-chilled and creamy.
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
Garnish with a whole Nilla Wafer by resting it on the rim or floating it on top of the drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Nilla Wafer Martini!
