- Place the oreo cookie crumbs on a side plate
- Lightly moisten the rim of your martini glasses under cold water, then rim your glasses with the crumbs
- In a martini shaker, place a small scoop of ice, the alcohol, the milk, and the simple syrup, shake thoroughly, as you would a martini
- Distribute the martini evenly between the glasses
Optional ‘snow’
- Rinse the martini shaker thoroughly, then place the egg whites and sugar in the shaker
- Whisk thoroughly with small electric bar whisk (AKA a milk frother, found at IKEA for less than $5)

Enjoy responsibly!
