Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Vanilla Vodka
- 1 oz Chocolate Liqueur (like Godiva)
- 0.5 oz Crème de Cacao (dark or white)
- 0.5 oz Heavy Cream or Milk
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink.
- Add the vanilla vodka, chocolate liqueur, crème de cacao, and heavy cream into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Seal the shaker tightly and shake hard until the outside of the shaker is very cold, about 20 to 30 seconds. This creates the creamy texture.
- Discard the ice water from your chilled martini glass.
- Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass.
- Garnish the drink with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder before serving immediately.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark crème de cacao.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the crème de cacao slightly.
- To make this a Baileys Chocolate Martini, substitute the heavy cream with 1 oz of Baileys Irish Cream.
- For an after-dinner treat, rim the glass with chocolate syrup before pouring.
