Milk Tart Cocktail - Melktertjies
This South African cocktail is a creamy, comforting delicacy made with vodka, condensed and evaporated milk, and cinnamon. It's so easy to prepare, and you'll be sipping on it in just minutes.
Also known as melktertjies, melktert shooters, or milk tart liqueur, it has the same cozy aroma as the famous South African milk tart dessert but with an exciting kick. It's the perfect stand-in for eggnog if you're not a fan of it, like me.
A single sip will convert you into a melktertjies enthusiast for life - no one can resist the temptation of this delicious cocktail. Booze and milk tart, what's not to love?
It's quick and easy to make - ready in 5 minutes with just four simple ingredients. Liqueurs make the perfect holiday hostess gift. This modern South African drink is suitable for serving in a cocktail glass (for sipping) or in shooters, shot glasses, and jiggers.
You can enjoy this sweet, yummy, indulgent adult beverage similar as you would Bailey's or Kahlua's. It's perfect on the rocks (with ice cubes) on hot summer evenings.
Commercial milk tart shooter mixes are available in South African liquor stores, but you can make a better, custom mix to your taste with this recipe.
It also works out significantly cheaper, which means more melktertjie for more people.
