Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the chocolate and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and place over a pan of barely simmering water.
2. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, 2 minutes.
3. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Dip the rims of 4 martini glasses into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
5. Chill the glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes.
6. In a pitcher, mix together the espresso, coffee liqueur and vodka.
7. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. In batches, add the vodka mixture and shake for 10 seconds.
8. Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses and serve.
