How to Make a Chocolate Martini:
This is a straightforward drink to mix, which makes me love this chocolate martini recipe even more. 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.
- I topped mine with grated chocolate which made for a fun extra dose of chocolate with each sip.
How Do I Make a Martini Less Strong?
If you want to make this martini a little less boozy, feel free to use heavy cream instead of Irish cream.
My favorite part of making this drink is the chocolate syrup swirl. I found that chilling the martini glass for a few minutes beforehand helps set the syrup so the lines don’t run too much.
It’s so easy to double everything to make two drinks— Valentine’s Day treat, maybe?
You can serve this chocolate martini in a classic martini glass, a coupe glass, or something unique like this. Cheers!
