I have taken you through
breakfast, lunch and now dinner in the chocolate drinks department. Trying to
figure out a simple chocolate alcoholic beverage recipe was a bit hard. I know
nothing about mixology and I don’t even drink. But a few trial and errors led
me to this delicious concoction.
Like I said, I am not a drinker; in
fact I really can’t stand the taste of alcohol. I may have a mojito or a belini
here and there, but I can’t drink too much alcohol as my chest gets really hot,
actually my whole body gets really hot. I rather a drink cool me down than burn
me up. Not to mention the fact that I am a chugger, I drink really fast and in
large gulps. I’m usually the one to finish two glasses of water and my soda at
a restaurant even before the appetizers are out. So the whole sipping thing….not
for me.
With that said there are always exceptions
to the rule. Some Alcoholic drinks are delicious, but in my world I equate delicious
to being sweet. If you dislike sweeter drinks, this may not be your glass of
martini. While this is a strong drink (to me) I feel the sweetness and the crème
de cacao flavor balances everything out. You could definitely sip and enjoy
this. A dash of coffee would have also been a good addition. But I dint want to
get too carried away
Serves two
Ingredients (printable recipe)
2 oz cream
4 oz crème de cacao
1.5 oz vodka
Cherries and
chocolate syrup garnish Instructions
- Chill glasses
- Place ice in a cocktail shaker
- Add vodka, creme de cacao and cream
- shake thoroughly
- Swirl some chocolate syrup insidethe glass
- Pour in the mixture
And yes, I know its in a champagne glass :) Feel free to use an actual martini glass. I have none.
- Chilling the glasses makes the chocolate syrup less runny when you make a swirly design in the glass.
- This can be made without the cream for an even crisper cleaner drink
