Ingredients
- 2 oz. vanilla vodka
- 2 oz. amaretto
- 2 oz. Bailey's Irish Cream
- 2 oz. Kahlua
- 2 oz. chocolate syrup
- maraschino cherries, optional
Preparation
Step 1
To make this cocktail even more decadent than it already is, embellish the rim of your martini glass with a little shaved chocolate. I like to mix a bit of granulated and turbinado sugar in with the chocolate. It looks extra pretty that way!
To coat the rim, simply combine the sugars and shaved chocolate in a shallow dish. I shave my chocolate with a rasp grater, but a cheese grater works just fine too.
Moisten the rim of the glass with water or vodka, and dip the rim in the chocolate-and-sugar mixture.
To make the martini, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the ingredients, and give the shaker a little shake, shake, shake.
{Don't have a cocktail shaker? No problem. Simply pour the ingredients into a large glass two-thirds full of ice cubes and stir well. Then strain the mixture into your martini glass.}
Once shaken, pour the mixture into the prepared glass.
Directions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add liquors and chocolate syrup; shake for about 30 seconds.
Place a maraschino cherry in the bottom of two martini glasses (optional). Pour shaken chocolate mixture into the glasses.
Makes 2 martinis
NOTE: You can also simply mix all ingredients together and chill in the refrigerator before serving rather than using a cocktail shaker.
