Ingredients:

  • 2 oz premium vodka
  • 1.5 oz chocolate liqueur (Godiva or similar)
  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (Baileys)
  • 0.5 oz white crème de cacao
  • 0.5 oz heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions:

  1. Place your martini glass in the freezer. Note: This keeps the chocolate syrup rim from sliding down the sides too quickly.
  2. Drizzle 1 tbsp chocolate syrup in a spiral inside the glass. The syrup should cling to the cold surface.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with large, solid ice cubes. Note: Small ice melts too fast and dilutes the spirits.
  4. Pour 2 oz vodka, 1.5 oz chocolate liqueur, and 1 oz Irish cream over the ice.
  5. Add 0.5 oz white crème de cacao and 0.5 oz heavy cream.
  6. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Listen for the ice hitting the ends.
  7. Shake until the outside of the tin is painfully cold and frosted.
  8. Use a Hawthorne strainer to pour the mixture into your prepared glass.
  9. Dust with 1 tsp cocoa powder. The powder should sit on the foam.
  10. Serve immediately. Enjoy the drink while the temperature is at its lowest.
