🔄 Substitutions
- Creme de Coco: substitute in Mozart Chocolate Spirit, or Kahlua but know that these substitutions will give your drink more of a chocolate color instead of the white version pictured here.
- Caramel vodka - Kissed caramel vodka by Smirnoff is what I used in this recipe but it can be left out, adding more caramel drizzle to the glass as a substitute.

👩🍳 Chef Tip
Use a clean pair of kitchen scissors to snip a slice into the bottom of the peep marshmallow to help it sit on the rim of the garnished martini glass. Give the peep a squeeze to help the sticky inside adhere to the glass.
