The chocolate martini is a desert cocktail, usually favored by the ladies.  I've seen a lot of recipes, but I think it is best to keep it simple while producing something that is going to make her purr like a kitty cat.  - Johnnie

The Chocolate Martini

A chocolate martini can be made from a variety of base spirts including vodka, light rum or even a brandy.  Johnnie suggests sticking with a good quality vodka.  If you want to show off, you can get a flavored vodka or an infused vodka.  Suitable flavors would something like an orange, a rasberry, or even a banana.  Just think about what goes well with chocolate.

Choclate Martini Recipe Ingredients

• 2 oz. Vodka
• 1/2 oz. Chocolate Liquer
• 1/2 oz. White Creme de Cacao
• Chocolate Syrup

Start by coating the cocktail glass with chocolate syrup.  The vodka, chocolate liquer, and creme de cacao go into your cocktail shaker with ice.  Gentely shake or stir, then stain the cocktail into your prepared martini glass.

Garnish Martini With Imagination

Let your imagination guide you in garninshing this cocktail.  Chocolate shavings sprinkled on top, a chocolate powder dusted rim on the martini glass, a swirl of chocolate syrup floating on top, or a sprig of mint all would make fine granishes for this martini drink recipe.  If you used a flavored vodka, you can also granish with the matching fruit.

Unique Martini Glasses

Johnnie would hate to see this rich delicacy sloshed into any old glass. 

Make sure you have a set of elegant or unique martini glasses when you serve this dessert cocktail.  A carefully prepared chocolate martini, imaginatively garnished and set in stunning martini glasses is sure to draw gasps from an appreciative audience.

Johnnie warns that these cocktails are so delicous that it is easy to forget you're drinking a fair amount of alcohol.  More than a few people have had to be retrieved from under a table after having "one to many."
