Chocolate Martini Recipe by The Purple Mermaid


Hosting an engagement party or rehearsal dinner? Or, just planning a great cocktail party? The Chocolate Martini is the signature drink to feature at your bash! There are many ways to make a chocolate martini. Our favorite recipe features a sweeter taste, so we use vanilla flavored vodka. To garnish, coat a rim of martini glass or make a swirl of chocolate syrup along the inside of the glass.


Ingredients:
2 oz Vanilla Vodka (Stoli Vanili is our favorite)
1/2 oz chocolate liqueur
1/2 oz white creme de cacao
Chocolate syrup to coat rim of martini glass
Coat rim or swirl the inside of martini glass with chocolate syrup.

Mix all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a martini glass.

If your party is a celebration for someone special, such as a birthday party, engagement party or retirement party, "create" a specialty drink dedicated for your guest/guests of honor. For example, find a really great recipe for a chocolate martini. Think of a "name" for your drink such as "John and Alicia's Love Potion". Create a simply decorated space near your bar area with a framed photo of the guests of honor, a small framed computer print out of the drink recipe and the "name" of your drink creation! Place all the makings for the drink including barware beside the photo frames. Then prepare a couple drinks to have at the ready for your guests to sample. This simple yet thoughtful idea is always a hit
