cafelaHow about something to drink? This is a good treat at the end of the day, and it doubles as a dessert!
Now, you may not have all of the ingredients called for--this is okay! If it doesn't have an asterisk* next to it, then you can still make a perfectly good chocolate martini without it, and simply increase the amount of chocolate liqueur to make up for what was left out. I believe in having a well-stocked bar with a lot of variety, but mine took time to build up. I started with a bottle each of rum, vodka, and Cointreau, along with a bottle of peach liqueur given to me by my French host family. As I held parties/tried new recipes/made more friends/experienced new drinks/traveled, my collection slowly grew into what it is today.
Ingredients:
1 scoop vanilla or chocolate ice cream*
1/2 c milk or half n half*
1 shot Godiva chocolate liqueur*
1/2 shot vanilla vodka
1/4 shot Kahlua liqueur
1/4 shot Amaretto liqueur
1/2 shot Godiva white chocolate liqueur
finely ground/shaved chocolate (just use a square of baking chocolate and a cheese grater or zester)
Pour all ingredients into a martini shaker; shake until blended, pour into martini glass. Garnish with ground chocolate/chocolate shavings if desired. It's that easy!
For a more elegant look, before pouring the drink in, you can dip the rim of the martini glass into milk and then roll in the ground chocolate.
If you don't have ice cream, you can always increase the milk by a 1/4 cup and use ice in the shaker, but this will leave you with a watery martini.
