Chocolate Liqueur Cocktail
Every now and then, you need that special cocktail. The drink that impresses guests, and acts as a night cap after a nice meal. Well, this is it. THIS is the cocktail that acts like a dessert with some flair. Sweet, chocolatey, and boozy – all at once.
My husband and I love our after dinner drinks, especially over the holidays in front of the sparkles from the Christmas tree. If we’re not sipping on a chocolate martini, then we’re probably enjoying a Frozen Grasshopper Drink or a Frozen Kahlua Cocktail.
Why This Recipe Works:
- SIMPLE RECIPE – This chocolate martini recipe has just four simple ingredients that are easily found in liquor stores and grocery stores. The chocolate shavings are extra but worth a little extra time.
- COCKTAIL PLUS DESSERT – I love a multi-faceted recipe. This one serves as both a cocktail and dessert. Win/win!
- IMPRESSIVE FOR HOLIDAYS – We love all the special things that come with celebrating the holidays and this martini is IT. Your guests will be impressed!
Ingredients needed for Chocolate Martinis:
- Chocolate Liqueur – Use a good quality chocolate liqueur. I used the Godiva brand, and it was DELISH.
- Vodka – A good quality vodka is also recommended here. No headaches allowed!
- Creme de Cocoa – You’ll need just a touch of this for these cocktails.
- Half and Half – This is the ingredient that makes this drink super creamy. So much yum.
- Chocolate Shavings – An optional ingredient, but it makes the drink oh-so-pretty. Don’t you think?
How to make the Best Chocolate Martinis:
These take only a few minutes to prepare. Just have the chocolate shavings ready, and the alcohol handy, and you’re five minutes to sipping time.
Step 1
Prep chocolate. Use a potato peeler to peel the chocolate into shavings. Add to a small plate.
Step 2
Prep the martini glasses. On a small plate with edges, pour a little bit of half and half inside. Dip the rim of the glasses into the half and half and then dip in the plate of chocolate shavings.
Step 3
Mix cocktail. Add about 8-10 ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Add the liquids – the chocolate liqueur, vodka, creme de cocoa, and the half and half to the shaker. Vigorously shake until ingredients are well combined and the drink is nice and cold.
Step 4
Serve. Pour the cold martini mixture into the prepared martini glasses. Add a few more chocolate shavings to the top of the drink (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
