Martinis are a classic co*cktail, but for chocolate lovers, there's nothing better than a rich, creamy chocolate martini. Whether you prefer a traditional chocolate flavor, a combo of chocolate and mint, or sweet white chocolate, you can easily mix up a delicious martini at home. Be careful with these tasty co*cktails, though -- they taste so much like candy that it's easy to overindulge!

Method 1 of 3:
Whipping Up a Classic Chocolate Martini
1
Place some chocolate liqueur and cocoa powder in separate dishes. To prepare garnish for the martini glass, pour a splash of chocolate liqueur in a small rimmed dish. Place a separate small dish beside the liqueur, and sprinkle a little cocoa powder in it.[1]
- If there are any lumps in the cocoa powder, use a whisk to quickly break them up.
2
Dip the rim of a glass into the liqueur and then into the cocoa powder. After you've set out the chocolate liqueur and cocoa powder, dunk a martini glass in the liqueur to wet the rim. Next, press the glass into the cocoa powder to coat the rim. Set the glass aside for the moment.[2]

Method 2 of 3:
Preparing a Chocolate Mint Martini
1
Fill a co*cktail shaker with ice. To mix the martinis, you'll need a co*cktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, you can substitute a mason jar. Add enough ice to the shaker to fill it completely.[5]
2
Add all of the ingredients to the shaker and shake well. After the shaker is filled with ice, pour 1 ounce (30 ml) of whipped cream flavored vodka, ½ ounce (15 ml) of creme de cocoa, ½ ounce (15 ml) of creme de menthe, and 2 ounces (60 ml) of half-and-half to it. Cover the shaker and shake the contents vigorously for 5 to 10 seconds.[6]
3
Pour the martini into a glass and garnish as desired. After you've mixed the martini, strain it into a martini glass to remove the ice. You can top it with a dollop of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and/or mint leaves to garnish it before serving.[7]

Method 3 of 3:
Fixing a White Chocolate Martini
1
Fill a co*cktail shaker with ice. To ensure that the martini is properly chilled, it's important to mix it with ice. Add enough ice cubes to a co*cktail shaker to fill it before you mix in the liquids.[8]
2
Add the vodka, white chocolate liqueur, and white creme de cacao and shake well. Pour 1 ounce (30 ml) of vodka, 1 ounce (30 ml) of white chocolate liqueur, and ¾ ounce (22 ml) of white creme de cacao. Shake the mixture well for 10 to 15 seconds or until it's very cold.[9]
3
Strain the martini into a glass. Once the martini is mixed, use a co*cktail strainer to pour it into a martini glass and remove the ice. Serve it while it is still chilled.[10]
- If you like, you can drizzle a little chocolate syrup over the top of the martini as a garnish.
