  • Jigger: Helps measure liquids accurately.
  • Martini glass: The classic choice for serving our drink.
  • Strainer: Useful for pouring the drink into the glass without the ice.
  • Small plate: Handy for rimming the glass if you like adding cocoa or chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

Here's what you’ll need to fill your martini glass with deliciousness:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz chocolate liqueur
  • 1 oz creme de cacao
  • 1 oz half-and-half or milk: For a creamy touch.
  • Ice cubes: To chill the cocktail.

Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. Using dark chocolate liqueur adds a deeper flavor, while milk chocolate is sweeter.

    Notes

    Here are some tips to ensure the perfect cocktail experience:
    For a sweeter version, try using a flavored vodka, like vanilla.
    Adjust the creaminess: Swap out half-and-half for milk or a dairy-free alternative.
    Temperature is key: Ensure ingredients are cold for the best taste.
    If you love garnish, add a chocolate-covered strawberry on the rim.
    Consider experimenting with a splash of coffee liqueur for a mocha twist.
