Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 tsp melted chocolate
  • 50 ml Irish cream liqueur
  • 50 ml coffee liqueur
  • 1 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 100 ml vodka
  • handful of ice

Equipment

  • 1 Cocktail Shaker With a lid and strainer
  • 2 Martini glasses Chilled, if possible
  • 1 Small Saucepan or Microwave-Safe Bowl For melting chocolate
  • 1 Jigger or Measuring Spoons For accurate liquid measurements
  • 1 Bar spoon or small spoon For swirling chocolate and stirring

Method
 

  1. Melt 1 tsp of chocolate using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  2. Swirl the melted chocolate around the inside of two chilled martini glasses to create a decorative rim, then set aside.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice.
  4. Add 50ml Irish cream liqueur, 50ml coffee liqueur, 1 tbsp chocolate syrup, and 100ml vodka to the shaker.
  5. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
  6. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared martini glasses, ensuring no ice shards fall in.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your chocolate martini.

Notes

1. For the melted chocolate rim, ensure the chocolate is truly melted and not too hot, as this will cause it to seize. A double boiler or short bursts in the microwave work best. Swirl it around the inside of the chilled martini glass for an elegant presentation. 2. Pre-chilling your martini glasses will ensure the cocktail stays colder longer, enhancing the overall drinking experience. 3. Adjust the chocolate syrup to your preference; a little less or more can significantly change the sweetness. For an extra touch of sophistication, consider garnishing with a few chocolate shavings or a whole coffee bean.
