Chocolate treats rule our little roost at the Holidays. From cookies to cakes to candy treats for the little ones, the holidays are like an apparition of cacao-based sweetness filling every food and beverage in sight. Why not join in the fun and serve one of these similarly chocolate-infused martini cocktails when trying to catch a buzz from your holiday merrymaking?

Classic Chocolate Martini

The classic chocolate martini is as simple as it is tasty. Shake an ounce of Godiva chocolate liqueur with an ounce of plain vodka over ice and strain into a martini glass. Most folks add a peppermint stick for good measure.

Decadent Chocolate Martini

Shaken, not stirred and decadently sweet, this one doesn’t hold back. To make it, mix an ounce and a half of Godiva chocolate liqueur, a similar serving of Creme de Cacao, an ounce of Absolut Vanilla and two and a half ounces of light cream into a shaker over ice. Take it a step further by serving with chocolate truffle - there goes the waistline!

Mint Patty Martini

This one will require a little extra finesse to get right but should reward you with one of the most delicious chocolate cocktails you’ll ever enjoy this holiday season. You will need one and a half ounce of Absolut Pepar, an ounce of White Creme de Menthe, half an ounce of Godiva dark chocolate liqueur and half a Starlight mint.

Put everything but the Godiva into the shaker and leave it to stand for a few seconds before giving it a good round of shakes. When they look like they’ve mixed well enough, add in the chocolate liqueur and work the shaker once again. Strain it into a martini glass and enjoy the explosion of flavors right in your mouth!
