Do you like a good martini? I love martinis and hubby adores chocolate so these are one of our favorites. This delectable martini is a chocolate lovers dream come true. I had forgotten how much I love these. These are most certainly going to be on our Easter menu.
How do you make a Chocolate Martini?
First grate some chocolate and place it on a plate with a little bit of depth. Put a little bit of chocolate syrup on the tip of your finger and run the rim of the glass. Turn the glass upside down and run the rim gently in the grated chocolate. Keep turning and tilting till you get a nice rim of chocolate around the glass.
Then simply put some ice in a martini shaker, then add the chocolate liquor, creme de cocoa, vodka and half & half. Place the strainer and the cover for the strainer on the shaker and give it a few gentle shakes. Right before you pour the cocktail swirl a little chocolate sauce into the glass. Promptly take the top off the strainer and pour the cocktail into the prepared glass. The chilled martini will help keep the chocolate syrup from spreading too much.
Recipe notes and helpful tips for chocolate martini
- Refrigerate the chocolate syrup before preparing the cocktail. Just a small amount of chocolate syrup at a time on the tip of your finger works best for preparing the glass for rimming. If necessary put another small amount on the tip of your finger and finish working it around.
- Use a box grater to grate the chocolate. Do it right on the plate that you will rim the glasses on.
- Use good quality vodka. It really makes a difference. The market is plentiful with great selections.
- If you don’t have a cocktail shaker don’t worry. You can use a clean jar, sports bottle or even a protein shaker.
- As with any cocktail adjust it to your taste. You might want less vodka and more chocolate liquor.
