Dessert cocktails are absolutely delicious and this smooth, sweet and boozy chocolate martini recipe is my favorite. This easy recipe is rich and chocolate-y but isn’t cloying, even with the swirl of chocolate syrup and chocolate shavings on top. If you love chocolate like I do, I think you’re going to be obsessed.

How to make a Chocolate Martini
This is a straightforward drink to mix. My favorite part of making this drink is the chocolate syrup swirl.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup into a chilled martini glass and set aside.
- Shake equal parts chocolate liqueur, Irish cream and vodka with ice, then pour in the the prepared glass.
- Garnish with grated chocolate for a classy finish.
Recipe Variations
- If you want to make this martini a little less boozy, feel free to use heavy cream instead of Irish cream.
- Swap the chocolate liqueur for a flavored chocolate liqueur like peppermint to create a seasonal drink.
- Try a flavored vodka if you want to add a subtle flavor like cherry or raspberry to your chocolate martini.
Tips for making
- I found that chilling the martini glass for a few minutes beforehand helps set the syrup so the lines don’t run too much.
- Add a sprig of mint or an orange slice if you want to add a natural garnish.
- Creme De Cacao is an interchangeable ingredient with Chocolate Liqueur.

Such a pretty and delicious drink!
Finally a martini I can get on board with! I have wanted to like Martini’s since, well, forever – cause James Bond – but every time I’ve tried one it’s felt like I’m drinking lighter fluid. This looks so good, thank you for sharing! I’ll take mine shaken not stirred *hur hur*
