Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger
  • Strainer
  • Martini glass
  • Small plate or saucer
  • Ice

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz vanilla vodka
  • 0.5 oz hazelnut liqueur such as Frangelico
  • 0.5 oz chocolate liqueur or white chocolate liqueur
  • 0.5 oz crème de cacao dark or light
  • ice cubes for shaking
  • chocolate syrup for rimming the glass
  • granulated sugar or cocoa powder for rimming the glass
  • chocolate shavings for garnish; optional

Instructions

  • Rim a chilled martini glass: dip the rim into chocolate syrup, then into sugar (or cocoa powder). Chill the glass briefly while you mix the drink.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add vanilla vodka, hazelnut liqueur, chocolate liqueur, and crème de cacao.
  • Shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the shaker feels very cold.
  • Strain into the prepared martini glass and garnish with chocolate shavings.

Notes

For a brighter balance, rub a lemon wedge on the rim before sugaring. Use white chocolate liqueur for a creamier profile. Keep ingredients and glassware well-chilled for the smoothest texture.
