Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini (Cocktail)
A sweet-and-salty dessert martini that blends caramel vodka, Irish cream, chocolate liqueur, and cream with a touch of sea salt. Rim with caramel and a little salt for a decadent finish.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Martini glass (chilled)
- Measuring jigger
- Small plate (for rim)

Ingredients
- 2 oz caramel vodka or regular vodka
- 1 oz Irish cream liqueur such as Baileys

- 1 oz chocolate liqueur
- 0.5 oz caramel syrup or salted caramel sauce
- sea salt pinch, plus more for rim
- ice cubes
- caramel sauce or chocolate syrup optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a martini glass. Rim with caramel sauce, then dip in a little sea salt.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add caramel vodka, Irish cream, chocolate liqueur, heavy cream, and caramel syrup.

Notes
Add a shot of espresso for a mocha twist, or use apple-flavored vodka for a caramel apple riff. Go easy on the salt—just a pinch keeps the balance right.
