Ingredients that you’ll need to make this Chocolate Martini

Vodka
Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur
Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
Baileys
Cocoa Bitters
Vanilla Bean Paste
Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate for garnish, optional

Tips

You’ll need Vodka. Brooklyn used Grey Goose, which I love, but if you are looking for a less expensive but all-around good Vodka, you can try Absolut, Tito’s, and Ketel One. Of course, the best chocolate liqueur is Godiva, and then my all-time favorite, Baileys.

Next, the unusual items. You will need Cocoa Bitters and Vanilla Bean Paste. The Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate I found in the baking aisle of my grocery store.

OXO Steel Cocktail Shaker — ***Best Steel Cocktail Shaker***

Finally, you can’t make a great martini without a great shaker. I have at least a dozen shakers but this one is by far my favorite. It doesn’t leak, and the cap is a measuring cup measuring from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces. Dishwasher safe, you can’t go wrong with this shaker.

And remember the chilled martini glass. Nothing is worse than a martini in a warm glass. Check out these 2 that I recommend. Joy Jolt set of 6 martini glasses in multi-colors and Crafthouse by Fortessa, set of 4 martini glasses. They are both dishwasher-safe. Joy Jolt is a short martini glass, good for stacking on the shelf in the freezer. The Crafthouse by Fortessa is tall and elegant, but challenging to find a safe spot in the freezer. I love them both!

Easy Chocolate Martini Directions

Make the chocolate curls. If you have a fine grater, you can use it to grate the chocolate. I used a vegetable peeler to scrape the edge of the bittersweet chocolate bar to make the chocolate curls.

Put the chocolate to the side once done.

Fill the shaker half full with ice. Add the Vodka, chocolate liqueurs, cocoa bitters, vanilla bean paste and Baileys. Shake well for 15 seconds, then pour it into a chilled martini glass. Sprinkle on the chocolate and garnish with a strawberry (optional). It’s amazing!
