What's a good recipe for a chocolate martini?

Answer 1

Hershey WallbangerGood martinis come in only one flavor and in one color: gin and white, respectively. James Bond glamorized the "shaken, not stirred" vodka martini, but that concoction is as much a real martini as 007 was a real spy.

So drink these alcoholic Shirley Temples if you must, but at least avoid painting a mustache on The Mona Lisa by calling them martinis. (Robert Benchley once observed that the perfect martini was "three parts gin, and enough vermouth to take away that ghastly watery look.")

Try this recipe:

2 parts dark crème de cacao

1 part vodka

... and, just to make it interesting, perhaps 1 part Chambord.

Shake it with ice, strain and serve. (A lump of bubble gum would be an appropriate garnish, or maybe use a Tootsie Roll as a swizzle stick.)

Answer 2

A good chocolate martini recipe is a "Chocolate Espresso Martini". It consists of one lemon wedge, 2 tablespoons of raw sugar, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped and cut bittersweet chocolate chunks, 4 tablespoons of cooled espresso, chilled 1.5 ounces of vodka and 1/2 ounce of creme de cacao. You will also want to add a long lemon twist to the martini as well to kick the flavor up a notch.

Answer 3

For a chocolate martini, you would fill a martini shaker half full of ice. Then, add 2 oz of vodka and 2 oz of white creme de cacao, 1 oz dark creme de cacao. Shake well and pour into a martini glass, and there's your chocolate martini!
