Chocolate Martini

Prepare the garnish: You can skip the garnish altogether or just sprinkle a few chocolate shavings on top of the finished drink, but you can also get a little fancy. To garnish with chocolate syrup: Hold the martini glass at an angle. Tip the chocolate syrup bottle upside down with the nozzle pointing on the inside of the glass. Squeeze a thin stream of chocolate syrup around the inside of the martini glass while rotating the glass. The syrup will stick to the sides of the glass once the drink is poured into it. To garnish with grated chocolate: Place the grated chocolate onto a small plate. To another small plate add 2 tablespoons of water. Dip the lip of the martini glass into the water to wet the rim of the glass. Then, dip the martini glass lip into the grated chocolate, rolling it around to cover the edges of the glass rim.

Make the cocktail: Add the vodka, chocolate liqueur, crème de cacao, and half and half into the cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.

Serve: Strain into a garnished martini glass and serve. Did you enjoy this recipe? Let us know with a review and rating!
