This Decadent Chocolate Martini Recipe Makes Cozy Nights Even Cozier
The grind may never stop, but at least you can take a moment for yourself to slow things down a bit. Perhaps your midweek mental break involves running a piping-hot bath, making a homemade dinner, or queuing up a cozy movie marathon – all good things, I suppose, but to me, the utmost form of escapism comes in the shape of a little treat – a chocolate little treat.
This mocha chocolate martini recipe is a luscious and luxurious way to lean into the flavors you love the most. Baileys newly-launched Chocolate Liqueur combines exceptionally well with your vodka of choice, simple syrup, and a shot of strong espresso to emulate a caffè mocha – except this time, it’s even more chocolatey and rich – plus, it hosts a nice boozy kick for relaxing.
Shake this chocolate martini recipe up once the sun goes down for completing an ideal wind-down routine. The cocktail is *also* a great option for serving as dessert after a dinner party. After every sip, you and your guests won’t be able to get enough!
How To Make This Tasty Mocha Martini
There’s never been an easier martini recipe than this one. It only takes four ingredients and a generous shake over ice before it’s ready for pouring. You can enjoy it as-is, or optionally garnish using cinnamon, coffee beans, or vanilla-flavored cold foam if you’re feelin’ fancy. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1.5 oz Baileys Chocolate Liqueur
- 0.75 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Fresh Espresso
- 0.25 oz Simple Syrup
Method:
- Add all the chocolate martini ingredients to a cocktail shaker over ice.
- Shake together, and finely strain the contents into a coupe or martini glass.
- From there, add your garnish of choice, and indulge in chocolate-covered goodness.
