- 50 ml Vodka
- 30 ml Chocolate Liqueur
- 20 ml Heavy Cream
- 10 ml Simple Syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 tbsp Chocolate Shavings or Mini Chocolate Chips
- 1 Maraschino Cherry (optional)
- 1 Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your martini glasses. Rim the edge of each glass with cocoa powder by dipping the rim into a shallow plate of water or simple syrup, then rolling it in the cocoa powder. This adds a rich chocolate flavor to every sip.
- 2 Mix the Cocktail:
In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, chocolate liqueur, heavy cream, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to ensure everything is well-mixed and chilled.
- 3 Pour and Garnish:
Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glasses, ensuring a smooth pour without any ice shards. For the garnish, sprinkle a little chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips on top. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for a touch of elegance.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your sweetness preference. You can also substitute with honey or flavored syrups for a twist.
- For a richer experience, use a high-quality chocolate liqueur.
- You can prepare the chocolate rim in advance by storing the cocoa powder-rimmed glasses in the fridge, ensuring the powder sticks better.
