Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon grated dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
  • 2 ounces chocolate liqueur
  • 1 ounce Creme de Cacao
  • 1 ounce vodka or vanilla vodka
  • 1 ounce heavy cream
  • ice

Instructions

  • Place grated chocolate on a plate. Put a small amount of chocolate syrup on the tip of your finger and run the rim of the martini glass. Turn the glass upside down and run the rim gently through the grated chocolate.
  • Fill the martini shaker halfway with ice. Add the chocolate liqueur, Creme do Cacao, vodka, and heavy cream. Cover the martini shaker and gently shake.
  • Swirl the remaining chocolate syrup in the glass. Pour the martini into the prepared glass. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • 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 dark 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.
  • Godiva makes delicious chocolate liquor. 
  • Baileys can be substituted for the Creme de Cacao and heavy cream.
  • 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.
  • Grated or finely shaved chocolate is delicious and the perfect garnish.
