Chocolate and Coffee Martini

Having cocktails on special occasions has been traditional,

but most of us refrain from making indulgent cocktails at

 home thinking it is just too much work. But there are some                                                 

cocktail recipes which use simple ingredients, are easy to

 make and yet result into something right out of a lavish

 restaurant's menu card. We know that chocolates make
 any moment a special one, and to date it remains to be
the favourite choice for special dates and events. So here's
a simple recipe for a Chocolate Martini, another way to
savour the chocolate and liquer, and make your moments
memorable and sweet!




Ingredients

4 fl oz chocolate liqueur (any flavor you like by Godiva)

2 tbsp crème de cacao (optional)

3 fl oz vodka

1 oz semisweet chocolate - grated

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp instant coffee (any flavor)

5-6 ice cubes



Method

Combine chocolate liqueur, coffee powder and vodka in a cocktail mixer full of ice. Chill glasses and then rim them with the cocoa powder (use egg white to make it stick to the glass edges). Shake the mixture vigorously and strain into the martini glasses. Top it with a layer of creme de cacao. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Let this Chocolate and Coffee Martini transform your evening into something romantic and special!



Tip: For the virgin version, replace vodka with skimmed milk and enjoy!
