- Chill Glassware Perfectly: Use a freezer to pre-chill the martini glass for at least 15 minutes, ensuring the cocktail stays cold longer and maintains its elegant presentation.
- Balance Sweetness Carefully: Adjust the amount of caramel vodka and butterscotch schnapps based on personal preference to prevent the drink from becoming overly sweet.
- Shake with Precision: Shake the cocktail vigorously but not too long to avoid over-dilution and maintain the drink’s intense flavor profile and creamy texture.
- Customize for Dietary Needs: Substitute heavy cream with almond or oat milk for a lighter version, and use sugar-free caramel sauce for a low-calorie alternative that still delivers rich flavor.
