Here at Delish, we believe that there’s no better way to cap off a
holiday dinner than with a decadent dessert cocktail. If your dream after-dinner combo is a dessert + cocktail in one, then this chocolate martini will be a dream come true. Think of a rich chocolatey dessert and a boozy bev, all in one delicious sip. With chocolate syrup, chocolate liqueur and Baileys, this drink takes the vodka cocktail to a whole other level. Here’s how to make it the best it can be:
How to make a chocolate martini:
Everyone has their own opinion on the best way to prepare a martini: shaken vs. stirred. In this recipe, we choose to shake our Baileys, chocolate liqueur, and vodka with ice in order to get our mixture extra cold.
Top tips for making a chocolate martini:
— Make it ahead. Mix your cocktail ingredients ahead of time, then store in the fridge. When ready to serve, simply add ice and shake.
— To garnish, or not to garnish. Adding a chocolate rim and drizzles of chocolate to the inside of our glasses makes these drinks extra special, but if you’d prefer to serve your martini plain, go for it—they’ll be just as delicious as is.
— The chocolate liqueur. Use whatever brand is your preference! If you can’t find chocolate liqueur, creme de cacao will also work.
How should I garnish my martini?
We love topping ours with shaved chocolate or a pinch of cocoa powder, but feel free to get creative with the garnishes. Try adding a strawberry or a spring of mint, or even adding crushed Oreos to the rim. The more the better, we always say.
What goes with a chocolate martini?
If you’re looking to double up on dessert, serve this chocolate martini with Oreo cookie balls or chocolate pudding pie for a chocolate lover’s dream spread. Need a break from the richness? Our no-bake blackberry cheesecake bars or raspberry tiramisu would be perfect sweet pairings to your cocktail.
