Sicilian Pistachio Gelato Martini

A Sicilian Pistachio Gelato Martini is a luscious, indulgent cocktail that combines the rich, nutty flavors of pistachios with the creamy delight of gelato. This delectable concoction features a blend of pistachio liqueur, vodka, and amaretto, creating a harmonious and slightly boozy flavor profile. The star of the show is a scoop of Sicilian Pistachio Gelato that resides at the glass’s base. As you pour the chilled cocktail over the gelato, it slowly melts, infusing the drink with a smooth, velvety texture and a sweet, nutty taste. A sprinkle of crushed pistachios on top adds a delightful crunch, making this martini a decadent dessert and drink in one!

• 2 oz (60 ml) pistachio liqueur
• 1 oz (30 ml) vodka
• 1 oz (30 ml) amaretto liqueur
