  • Heavy cream creates a richer cocktail, while half-and-half offers a lighter alternative.
  • Crushing the cookies finely helps them stick better as garnish and enhances the cookies and cream experience.
  • Feel free to rim the martini glass with chocolate syrup before garnishing for extra presentation flair.
  • This cocktail is best served chilled immediately after preparation for optimal taste.
