Chocolate Martini recipe
When I visited Vail Colorado about 10 years ago I remember this drink I had once in the Lion’s Head Saloon. A Chocolate Martini. It was very smooth and frosty with a liquidy taste of yummy chocolate. I thought about making my own recipe.
If you’ve made chocolate sauce, you’ll know that you melt chocolate and then keep it liquid when it cools by adding a solvent – usually fat (in the form of cream). It struck me that one could probably use alcohol instead. Here’s the recipe so far:
Melt the chocolate carefully (I use a bain marie) and then dribble in the vodka while still over the lowest heat possible, stirring constantly to stop the chocolate curdling. Once you have a smooth chocolate sauce, transfer to a cocktail shaker and add the rest of the ingredients. Add plenty of ice and shake well. That’s it! Some friends prefer to leave out the cream for a darker, richer and stronger mix. This is so rich and thick that we use our half-size martini glasses to serve it straight-up, no garnish (yet), and in those glasses this quantity makes 6-8 glasses.
- 150g bar Green & Black Organic Cooking Chocolate (will try Valrhona eventually!)
- About 200ml vodka
- About 50ml orange liqueur (I’m using Curasao)
- 100ml coconut cream (not coconut milk) – maybe more, the carton is 200ml
- 100ml pouring cream

We had chocolate martinis for valentine’s day, but nothing that required melting the chocolate. we used godiva liqueur instead. I think we were at a restaurant in New Bedford last spring and they had the most astounding chocolate martini.
Your recipe looks like it would be even more delicious. I’d pass on the orange liqueur… i’m not one for citrus flavoring and chocolate mixed. I hate chocolate/fruit confectionaries… but with a little adjustments, this looks like it could rock.
good morning.

Dark Chocolate and Orange Liquer – perfect combination!
But what about the coconut cream – does it leave a powerful taste? Can you recommend something instead of coconut can would keep the pure taste of dark chocolate and orange?
Just found your website! ‘As a family living on the edge with the help of technology’, I thought you might also be interested in imagining what life in 240 years may be like with some delicious Space recipes made from spaceblooms!

I’m confused. Are these spaceblooms real or just graphics?
Anyways, skip the coconut and try Bailey’s Irish Cream also. Just a variant of the recipe at top.
