Chocolate Martinis
Are you a chocolate lover? I am, and I’m proud to let you know it! I’ll let you in on a little secret… I don’t always eat my chocolate – sometimes I drink it. Like in Hot Chocolate, Chocolate milkshakes and sometimes in the form of these Chocolate
That’s right folks, this lady like to party! And by party, I mean wearing my comfy stretch pants and over-sized tee-shirt while watching R rated movies on Netflix after my kid goes to bed. Some nights just call for a liquid dessert, and this one fits the bill perfectly!
Ingredients for Chocolate Martinis
- Chocolate Liqueur – This usually has a base liquor like vodka, to which chocolate is added. For this recipe I used Godiva, but there are many other brands on the market.
- Creme de Cacao – Distilled Cacao mixed with vanilla. This is less syrupy when compared to Chocolate Liqueur.
- Vodka – Use your favorite brand of vodka. Change up the flavor with vanilla or caramel for added flavor and sweetness. You can also go with normal, plain vodka.
- Half-and-half – This just adds creaminess to the drink. You can use a lighter milk if this is too heavy.
If you’re into day drinking as well and looking for some fun drinks to share with your girlfriends, check out this Metropolitan Martini Recipe, Pomegranate Martini Recipe, or this Samoa Martini. Anyone would be awesome!
Also try White Chocolate Martinis, Wineberry Martinis, or Lemon Raspberry Martinis.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
- 1 ½ ounces Creme de Cacao
- ½ ounce Vodka
- 2 ½ ounce half-and-half
- Chocolate Chips crushed and melted
Instructions
- Place your martini glass into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- Finely chop ¼ cup of chocolate chips and place them on to a large paper plate. Melt ¼ cup of chocolate chips and put them into a baggie.
- Swirl the inside of the martini glass with the melted chocolate. Add some melted chocolate around the rim of the glass and dip it in the crushed chocolate. If you aren’t using the glasses right away, store them in the fridge.
- Place a few ice cubes into a shaker. Add all ingredients, shake and pour into the prepared glasses.

After picture taking, we just ‘had’ to drink these! They tasted even better than they looked, and they looked great!
yep! They were good! How do you like your picture?
Love it. Anything with chocolate is a winner in my book. Especially in beverages 🙂
I really enjoyed this! I hope you do too!
They look delicious!! I need to branch out more and make some more “fun” drinks like these, but then again…aren’t all drinks fun?!?! And it is a good excuse to add to my barware collection. It is hard to add the chocolate swirl in a highball glass 😉
I think you may have to invest in some proper glasses as well. When I first moved in with my husband, we just bought two of each glass so that we could pretend to be adults and use fancy glasses. Lol!
That is a great idea!! And if I buy the glasses it will force me to branch out in my beverage selection 🙂
I agree, I almost never order a drink when I go out. The prices are insane for what you get. If you really want to have fun, go ahead and drink at 2 in the afternoon….and then try and write a blog post. It’s pretty comical, at least for me. 😉 Looks delicious Karyn. I’m up for anything chocolate!!
Karyn, your mom must be so lucky to be sharing this special drink with you that afternoon! Cheers!

Thanks so much for the feature and the pin!
I love Creme de Cacoa, will for sure have to try this! Thanks for sharing at Cook it! Craft it! Share it!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Awesome! I will have to make this.
Enjoy! We sure did!
I would love to try these & dip the edges of the glasses in chocolate sprinkles!
Sprinkled rims are always fun! Enjoy!
yummm! These could be dangerous!
hahaha! one’s not too dangerous. two is still on the safe side, but three…? And they go down so easily.
This looks so good! I’ll try to prepare this recipe this saturday on my girlsnight in! And I’ll definitely feature this recipe on my blog this month 🙂 Thank you!
