Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  I am so seriously excited to “reshare” this recipe with all of you.  This easy Chocolate Martini recipe is hands down my FAVORITE cocktail ever.  It’s rich, creamy, chocolate-y perfection in a fancy pants glass.  I made this one back in 2014 and this recipe just got a completely new look with a fun video and new pics….it was waaaaay overdue.

CHOCOLATE MARTINI

Just in time for Valentine’s day….ladies, if your guy hasn’t put a ring on it yet this will surely sway him in that general direction.  I can’t guarantee he’ll run off to Tiffany’s but maybe if you pair Meghan Markle’s roast chicken with this Chocolate Martini you’ll be engaged by Easter.  Fingers crossed.

This easy cocktail is based off of one my husband and I used to throw back, like literally, chug like animals….at a restaurant near us.  The bartender totally nailed the recipe and started everything off with creamy Godiva chocolate liquor.  So, you could call it a Godiva Chocolate Martini recipe but I don’t really know what is totally in that official recipe so this is all mine.

How To Make It

Making the best Chocolate Martini is so simple to do.  You only need a few ingredients to get you started.

  1. Fill your cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add the chocolate liquor, creme de cacao, vodka and half and half.

Is Creme de Cacao and Chocolate Liquor the same thing?

So, short answer….yes. Creme de Cacao is a chocolate flavored liquor made from the cacao bean and has a slight vanilla flavor to it.  It’s clear in color whereas chocolate liquor has a creamy consistency and comes in both cocoa (brown) and white chocolate (white) flavors.

If you want to make a White Chocolate Martini, I would suggest using the white chocolate liquor and the creme de cacao. If you can’t find creme de cacao, you can substitute with Kahlua and have very similar tasting results.

We absolutely LOVE this Ultimate Chocolate Martini recipe. It’s quick and simple and doubles as a dessert in a glass.  It’s definitely a hit with everyone I serve it to.
