In my 20s I had the privilege of working at a martini bar. Although most patrons ordered traditional gin and vodka martinis, every night included some of the exotic, including a chocolate martini. Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz chocolate liqueur
- 1 oz cream or half-and-half
- Chocolate syrup
- Ice
Instructions:
1. Chill a martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
3. Add the vodka, chocolate liqueur, and cream to the shaker.
4. Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds.
5. Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of the chilled martini glass.
6. Strain the cocktail into the glass.
7. Garnish with a chocolate-covered strawberry or chocolate shavings, if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious chocolate martini!
