When the fancy neighbor asks you over for drinks, you absolutely must go! His specialty? This Chocolate Martini! And it will completely blow your chocolate-loving mind! He effortlessly fills his cocktail shaker with a shot of vivacious vanilla vodka, a generous splash of some amazing chocolate liqueur, a good pour of delicious crème de cacao, and a bit of heavy cream. He then quickly engages his famous shaking motion (it’s all in the wrist apparently, haha) to create the creamiest chocolate drink of a lifetime! Topped with grated dark chocolate and a hint of nutmeg, Chocolate Martini is famously his drink-favorite made for all to enjoy. He sure loves shaking things up a bit!
