The Biscoff Cocktail is a creamy, dessert-inspired drink that blends cozy cookie flavors with a smooth finish. It starts with vanilla vodka, mashed banana, and half & half for a rich, milkshake-like base. Crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits add warm, spiced cookie notes and a little texture. The banana gives it a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the caramel flavor of the biscuits. It’s great as an after-dinner drink or when you’re craving something sweet and different. Serve it shaken and strained into a glass, then garnish with crushed Biscoff or a whole cookie on the rim for a fun touch. Inspired by www.smartblend.co.uk.

Tasting Notes

This Biscoff Cocktail is creamy, rich, and full of warm cookie flavor. The vanilla vodka brings a smooth base that blends easily with the half & half. The banana adds a soft texture and just a hint of natural sweetness. Crushed Lotus biscuits give the drink that distinct spiced cookie taste, while the blended ice keeps it thick and cold. It’s sweet, but not over the top. The cookie rim adds crunch, and the whole drink feels like a cross between a dessert and a milkshake—with a little kick. It’s smooth, comforting, and easy to sip.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a blender to mix everything into a smooth, thick texture. A jigger or small measuring tool will help portion the vodka and half & half accurately. Use a small bowl or plate for rimming the glass with crushed Biscoff biscuits. A spoon or muddler works well to crush the cookies evenly. Serve it in a chilled martini or coupe glass to show off the creamy texture and hold the garnish. If you want extra flair, use a peeler to add chocolate shavings or even a light cinnamon sprinkle on top.

Pro Tips

Use ripe banana for a smoother blend and better sweetness.
Crush the biscuits fine for the rim they’ll stick better and give a cleaner finish.
If the drink is too thick, add a splash more half & half.
For more cookie flavor, add an extra biscuit or drizzle in a little cookie butter before blending.
Chill the glass before serving to help hold the drink’s texture.
If you want less dairy, you can swap the half & half for oat milk or a plant-based cream, but it may slightly change the texture and flavor.

When to Serve

This Biscoff Cocktail is a great dessert drink for cozy nights, date nights, or small get-togethers. Serve it after dinner or as a sweet treat when you want something different from the usual cocktails. It’s perfect for cooler months, but works anytime you’re in the mood for a sweet, creamy drink with bold flavor. It also makes a fun holiday cocktail, especially for cookie lovers. Whether you’re making one or blending a batch, it’s easy to serve and a good conversation starter. Best served cold and thick, right out of the blender.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For vanilla vodka, go with something smooth like Absolut Vanilia, Smirnoff Vanilla, or Stoli Vanil—all blend well and add a clean vanilla flavor.
Use any brand of half & half that you trust, or a light cream for a richer feel.
Ripe bananas work best avoid green or overly soft ones.
Lotus Biscoff cookies are the must-have ingredient here; no other cookie delivers the same spiced flavor.
If you want to level it up, a small spoonful of Biscoff spread can be added before blending for even more cookie flavor.
