This boozy s’mores cocktail features marshmallow vodka, chocolate liqueur, and a fun marshmallow rim on the martini glass!
The real exciting part of this one, though, is the fire! That’s right, float some high proof alcohol (like vodka or rum) on the top, and light it up. It’s like having the campfire in the glass!
Of course, if the flames make you nervous, you can skip it and opt for lower proof options to make it more sippable. Either way, this is a fun s’mores cocktail that’s a little bit “extra” – perfect for entertaining!

Just shake vigorously and pour into your prepared glass, complete with a graham cracker crumb rim for the perfect smooth sip.

Feel free to use a marshmallow or chocolate whiskey for even more flavor, or add a fun twist with peanut butter or maple flavors – any combination that you’d like a s’more translates well to the cocktail too!
A toasted marshmallow is another great garnish here, or you can stick with the old fashioned classic of an orange peel for a burst of citrus.

Tips For the Best S’mores Cocktails
Rim It Right
Coat the rim of your glass with chocolate syrup or marshmallow fluff, then dip it in crushed graham crackers for that signature s’mores crunch in every sip.
Toast the Marshmallows
Use a kitchen torch or broiler to lightly toast marshmallows for garnish—this adds authentic flavor and a fun presentation!
Layer Flavors
Use rich, dessert-like liqueurs like chocolate liqueur, Irish cream (such as Baileys), or marshmallow vodka to mimic the s’mores trifecta. Baileys even makes a seasonal s’mores variety that fits perfectly into many cocktails!
Experiment With Texture
A splash of heavy cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream can turn your cocktail into a luxurious treat with milkshake-like richness!
Try Different Temperatures
For a cozy winter version, adapt your cocktails for a warm version, with hot chocolate as a base. For summer, shake it with ice and serve over crushed ice or blended for a frozen twist!
Garnish Ideas
Toasted Marshmallows on a Skewer
Lightly toast large or mini marshmallows and thread them onto a cocktail pick or skewer. Rest it across the rim of the glass or stand it up in the drink!
Chocolate Drizzle
Drizzle chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass before pouring in the cocktail, or do a zigzag over the top of whipped cream for a fun finish.
Graham Cracker Crumble
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of whipped cream or coat the rim for that unmistakable s’mores crunch!
Chocolate Shavings or Chips
Add a pinch of mini chocolate chips or shaved dark chocolate for both texture and richness.
Whipped Cream
A generous swirl of whipped cream adds sweetness and gives your garnishes something to sit in. It’s like the frosting on the cake—don’t skip it! Plus, it works with both hot or cold drinks – win win!
