Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

???? 1.5 oz chocolate liqueur (like Godiva or Mozart) – for that rich, velvety cocoa base
???? 1 oz vodka – adds that clean alcoholic kick without overpowering
???? 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (optional but amazing, like Baileys) – boosts creaminess
???? 1 oz half-and-half or heavy cream – smooths everything out with rich texture
???? ½ oz simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness if needed)
???? Ice cubes – to shake everything into a silky chill
???? Chocolate syrup – to swirl inside the glass
???? Chocolate shavings, mini chocolate kiss, or cocoa powder – garnish options galore

Instructions

Step 1:
Chill your martini glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

Step 2:
Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the martini glass in swirls or zig-zags, then place it back in the fridge to set while you shake the drink.

Step 3:
In a cocktail shaker, add chocolate liqueur, vodka, Irish cream (if using), half-and-half, and simple syrup (optional). Add a generous scoop of ice.

Step 4:
Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

Step 5:
Discard ice water from the martini glass (if used), and strain the cocktail into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

Step 6:
Top with garnishes of your choice: chocolate shavings, cocoa dust, or even a mini chocolate kiss placed on the rim or floating inside.

Step 7:
Sip, smile, and melt into the velvety richness. ????

Notes

These chocolate martinis are quite forgiving, but a few key tips ensure a velvety, bar-worthy drink:

Always use fresh, cold cream or half-and-half for best texture.
Use premium chocolate liqueur for depth and richness.
Adjust the sweetness to taste—some liqueurs are sweeter than others.
