Those of you that follow this blog should know that I can't let a holiday pass without creating an appropriate drink! For this past new year's eve I made an
Ultimate Chocolate Martini for Brian because he doesn't like champagne. But surely Valentine's Day is the perfect holiday for a chocolate cocktail. So, I decided to kick up the chocolate flavor even further for the occasion. Adding a bit of chocolate ice cream makes for a truly decadent experience.
It's creamy and rich and sinfully good...a perfect drink to share with your love. And with this cocktail waiting for him, all I can say is that Brian better be coming home that night with more than just his good looks. Cheers!
Per Serving:
2 oz. Vanilla vodka
2 oz. Chocolate liqueur (I used Godiva)
2 oz. Chocolate ice cream (any brand you like)
1/2 oz. Creme de cacao
1/2 oz. piece of chocolate
Grate the chocolate into a shallow dish. Rim the edge of a cocktail glass with a bit of the chocolate liqueur and roll the edge of the glass in the grated chocolate. Place the glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill and set the rim. Combine the vodka, chocolate liqueur, creme de cacao and ice cream in a cocktail shaker half filled with ice and shake well to melt the ice cream. Pour into the rimmed cocktail glass and garnish with the remaining grated chocolate.
Yummy and creamy!! Thanks for posting this!
