Chocolate Martini Recipe
The rich and delicious chocolate martini is made with vanilla vodka, dark Creme De Cocoa, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, and heavy cream.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka I like Stoli Vanilla, Grey Goose
- 1 ounce Creme de Cocoa pref dark
- 1 ounce milk or dark chocolate liqueur Trader Vic's, ChocoLat, Mozart (see note below)
- 1/2-3/4 ounce heavy cream half and half or Irish cream
- Grated chocolate for topping
Instructions
- Coat the rim of a chilled glass in melted chocolate or chocolate syrup.
- Combine vodka, Creme de Cacao, chocolate liqueur, and cream in a cocktail shaker with a cup of ice.
- Shake vigorously for 15 seconds and double strain into the glass. Top with freshly grated dark chocolate or nutmeg and serve.
Notes
You can use dark or milk chocolate liqueur almost interchangeably in this recipe. The addition of cream will add any texture and creaminess lacking from the dark chocolate liqueur. Dark chocolate liqueurs will result in a slightly less milk chocolate flavor.
The perfect chocolate martini starts with a chocolate rim and is finished with freshly grated dark chocolate or a fine dusting of cocoa powder.
Freeze your glasses ahead of time. This will keep your cocktail chilled for longer.
If you like the flavor of Irish cream (such as Bailey's), you can use that in place of cream and even increase the ratio to 3/4-1 ounce.
