Perfect for girl’s night, these Chocolate Martinis are sure to turn a night in into a fun time for all the chocolate lovers!
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 Martini’s! 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!
The best part of being a blogger is that I got to enjoy this Chocolate Martini at 2 in the afternoon when I was done photographing it! BTW – my mother drank the other one 🙂
Are you one to order a fancy drink at a bar? I enjoy a drink from time to time, but to be 100% honest with you, it’s the price tag of the drink that always gets me. Who really spends anywhere from 9 to 16 dollars for a drink?? I have a hard time paying 23 bucks for my meal, and then add-on a drink??!! It’s crazy.
Man, I’m totally a cheap date!
I’d much rather buy a few bottles and just drink at home.
I think that Cocktail Parties should become the new rage… then again, that means I’ve gotta clean my house and I wouldn’t be able to wear my old comfortable clothes that are not suitable for public display.
Nevermind, I’ll just drink alone at home with my cheap booze at two in the afternoon.
I think that would be safest for everyone involved.
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!

After picture taking, we just ‘had’ to drink these! They tasted even better than they looked, and they looked great!
Karyn Granrud says
yep! They were good! How do you like your picture?
fearlessdining says
Love it. Anything with chocolate is a winner in my book. Especially in beverages 🙂
Karyn Granrud says
I really enjoyed this! I hope you do too!
Ashley says
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 😉
Karyn Granrud says
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!
AshleyMcElheny says
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!!

Laurie says
I would love to try these & dip the edges of the glasses in chocolate sprinkles!
Karyn Granrud says
Sprinkled rims are always fun! Enjoy!
Beth says
yummm! These could be dangerous!
Karyn Granrud says
hahaha! one’s not too dangerous. two is still on the safe side, but three…? And they go down so easily.
