Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini

Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini, easy cocktail recipe inspired by the popular strawberry pretzel dessert. Tastes of strawberries, pretzels, and whipped vodka.

Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini cocktail recipe an easy drink based on the fun strawberry pretzel dessert bars! It’s been a long week here in Connecticut! A freak snowstorm last weekend left most of the state without power, many without water, trees and electrical wires down all over and school was canceled all week. Yep, no school ALL week! So when I say TGIF today, I really REALLY mean it!!!

To celebrate this Friday how about another -tini recipe???? This -tini tastes of strawberries, pretzels, cream cheese, and whipped topping.  Might sound like a strange combination but it will all make sense as you read on.  This Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini is one of my best -tinis! Yes, I realize I say that with each new cocktail and probably will continue to say it!!   You’re probably wondering where the heck this idea came from for this Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini so I probably should explain, and trust me, it’s ALOT better than it sounds…

Today’s Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini recipe came to me after seeing a picture for an old favorite dessert. I then saw my bottle of Pinnacle Whipped Vodka in the cupboard and knew I could turn this dessert into a cocktail!  I’m sure you’ll recognize this dessert once you see it. I’ve seen multiple variations of it and it goes by different names such as these Strawberry Pretzel Squares. 

I’ve also had a variation in more of a “salad” form and served as a side dish and have also seen another variation called a Strawberry Whip. But whatever you want to call it and however you want to make it, there’s something a bit addictive about the sweetness of the strawberries, saltiness and crunchiness of the pretzels, and creaminess of the cream cheese and Cool Whip. And next thing I knew the Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini was born…

So this isn’t a “martini” but just a fun twist and another reason to use my martini glasses.  You can of course use any kind of glass you have and could call these Strawberry Pretzel Whips if you want.  For the strawberry part of this drink I used Master of Mixes Strawberry Daiquiri/Margarita Mix.

I then combined that with Pinnacle Whipped Vodka, milk (or you can use cream), and a little bit of JELL-O cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix.  I lined the rim with strawberry ice cream sauce (but you could also put a little strawberry jam/jelly in the microwave for a little while to thin) and crushed pretzels and then topped the drink with Cool Whip. 

If you don’t have any of the strawberry daiquiri/margarita mix, look around your house and see what other strawberry flavor options you have.  You could try a combination of strawberry gelatin mix and water.  You could also try putting some defrosted frozen strawberries (or fresh strawberries) in a blender with a little powdered sugar and the other ingredients for the drink.  I only tried this drink with the daiquiri/margarita mix so I can’t comment on how the other options would taste or work out, although I’m sure they’d be fine.  Hope you enjoy!  Have a great weekend!

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• Dip rim of glass in strawberry sauce then dip into crushed pretzels. Strain drink into glass.

Notes

SNAPPY TIPS: This makes 1 drink, so multiple if you are serving more people. For the strawberry daiquiri/margarita mix I used Master of Mixes Strawberry daiquiri/margarita mix that is a premade nonalcoholic liquid mix.

SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: You could line the glass rim with graham cracker crumbs and make this a Strawberry Cheesecaketini. Instead of strawberry ice cream sauce you could also use warmed up strawberry jelly/jam. Instead of the daiquiri/margarita mix you could also try using strawberry gelatin and water, or try blending some defrosted frozen (or fresh) strawberries with a little powdered sugar.

Course: Cocktail

Cuisine: American

Keywords: strawberry martini, summer cocktail recipe
