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!

Whipping Up a Classic Chocolate Martini

  1. 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.

    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]
