WHAT GOES IN A CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY MARTINI?

  • This cocktail starts with cherry flavored vodka. It is a nice way to add the cherry flavor, without watering down your martini.
  • Then you add creme de cocoa, a sweet chocolate flavored liqueur.
  • Add some heavy cream to get that nice smooth creamy texture to the drink.
  • Finally, you add a little bit of grenadine to make that great cherry color.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY MARTINI?

  • Combine all the ingredients in a martini shaker and shake to combine.
  • Before pouring, drizzle chocolate syrup in the martini glass, swirling the glass while the syrup drips, to get it to cover the glass.  We recommend a high quality chocolate syrup that is some what thick, like Ghirardelli.

    This is so pretty and sounded so yummy I thought I would make them for Valentines dinner for me and my husband… Even bought the cherry vodka and grenadine, already had the creme de cocoa…. What I failed to realize, as I was making a “practice Martine” tonight, was that my CDC is chocolate, as in brown! While not as pretty as your picture, the taste is still yummy! Can’t wait to share with my husband!
