Mint Oreo Martinis are the best Christmas cocktails! Minty, chocolatey, and flat-out luscious, this is one Oreo cookie recipe that will help warm your soul on those long winters nights.
Mint Oreos just jingle my bells.
Add some vodka and cordials to the mix, and the spirit of the holidays starts ring-ting-tingling in my heart.
I blast Christmas playlists, bake cut-out cookies, and douse my hot and cold holiday cocktails in gallons of mint.
Mint Oreo Cookie Recipes
My favorite milkshake on the planet is an oreo mint milkshake from Cookout.
When I first made this recipe back in 2012, I had found an ancient bottle of Creme de Menthe gathering cobwebs at the back of my mother-in-law's pantry, and I took the flavors of my favorite milkshake and turned it into a fancy Christmas cocktail.
Full disclosure, I don't even know if they still make Creme de Menthe, so in case you can't find it, you can always use Rupplemintz or any other peppermint schnapps.
The Best Christmas Cocktail Recipes
Mint Oreo Martinis have all of the necessary components for a perfectly festive Christmas cocktail and after dinner drink.
They're creamy, minty, chocolatey, and rich, reminiscent of dunking oreo cookies in a big old glass of milk...like a grown-up version of minty milk and cookies!
This easy martini recipe is a fantastic nightcap after an eventful baking marathon, as a luscious sweet treat for yourself, or to share with a galpal or two on Christmas Eve.
Mint Oreo Martinis
One thing you must do for these Mint Oreo Martinis though. You MUST use either thick, non-dairy milk like canned coconut milk or maybe even cashew milk. Standard non-dairy milk is just too thin, and make this Christmas cocktail too strong to drink.
Heavy cream or half and half gives it that exact, creamy rich consistency I first imagined when I spied that glowing green bottle of minty elixir.
It's minty, chocolatey, creamy and totally Santa approved.
