CHOCOLATE MARTINI COCTAIL...











Indulge yourself with this Chocolate Martini rimmed with cocoa. It's a perfect dessert drink when hosting a dinner party or for those days when you have a little sweet tooth.
There are many versions of the Chocolate Martini, this is only one of them. Another recipe that uses a chocolate martini mix can be found in this video: Chocolate Martini. Personally I prefer to use a chocolate liqueur instead of a pre-mix. But if you're really fond of Chocolate Martinis or working in a bar where they're popular, the mix is convenient and tastes pretty good.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz creme de cacao, white
  • Hershey Hug or Kiss for garnish
  • powdered cocoa for rimming 







Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake vigorously.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass rimmed with cocoa.
