Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Vanilla Vodka
- 1 oz Godiva Chocolate Liqueur (or other chocolate liqueur)
- 1 oz Creme de Cacao (dark or white)
- 1/2 oz Half-and-Half or Heavy Cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Chocolate syrup or shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before starting.
- Prepare your garnish: Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the chilled martini glass, creating swirls. If using shavings, set them aside.
- Add the vanilla vodka, chocolate liqueur, and creme de cacao to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- If you want a richer drink, add the half-and-half or cream now.
- Seal the shaker tightly and shake hard until the outside of the shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink properly.
- Strain the mixture into your prepared, chilled martini glass.
- Garnish the top with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a Chocolate Espresso Martini variation, substitute 1/2 oz of the vodka with 1/2 oz of cold espresso or strong coffee.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, use white creme de cacao instead of dark, or reduce the amount of chocolate liqueur slightly.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the half-and-half with a non-dairy creamer like oat or almond cream.
- This recipe makes one serving. Double or triple the ingredients in your shaker for multiple drinks.
