A chocolate cocktail might be a good choice if you like dark, rich drinks. A spoon is used to serve the classic version, but this is a more sophisticated version. You can make this drink with Nocello or Dutch chocolate liqueur.
Nocello
Inspired by coffee, the Nocello chocolate cocktail features velvety chocolate and walnut flavors. Cold brew improves the coffee's taste, while Kahlua's richness enhances the drink’s sweetness. This cocktail works best when served in a coupe glass, or a martini.
This drink is also known for being a chocolate martini. It is a wonderful option for holiday parties. The drink is made by combining Nocello Walnut Liqueur, Baileys Irish Cream, and Godiva Liqueur, with a dash of Kahlua. Add a pinch of bitters to finish off the drink. Finally, garnish the drink with a twist or orange.
Organic milk chocolate
Organic milk chocolate is a natural choice for use in a chocolate cocktail. This rich and creamy chocolat is infused with Vermont's Mad River Distillers Craft Bourbon. Using this chocolate in a cocktail creates a sophisticated treat that can be enjoyed before or after dinner. This drink contains organic milk chocolate, heavy cream, water and traces of nuts.
Dutch chocolate liqueur
Dutch chocolate liqueur, a cream-based liqueur made with Dutch chocolate, is rich and creamy. The drink is popularly known as Vermeer and was invented in the Netherlands by Maurice Kanbar. The label of the bottle features a painting by Johannes Vermeer, "The Girl with a Pearl Earring." It is made from small quantities and is 34 proof. This chocolate-based spirit has a rich chocolate flavor with a touch of toffee.
A delicious way to surprise your guests is to use the Dutch chocolate liquor in a chocolate-themed cocktail. You can make a simple chocolate cocktail with it and drizzle hot chocolate on the rim of the glass. It can also be topped with whipped cream and toasted almonds.
Vanilla vodka
Vanilla vodka is one way to make a great chocolate cocktail. A single vanilla bean is enough to flavor a bottle of vodka. White or dark chocolate liqueurs are also popular. Godiva's chocolate-liqueur is the most loved, but Mozart White Chocolate Vanilla Cream as well as Godet Belgian White Chocolate make great choices.
A chocolate martini, a dessert cocktail that is perfect for sharing, is the best. The combination of ingredients is divine, with a velvety finish that's as creamy as a chocolate milkshake. Vanilla vodka, such Smirnoff, gives the drink a rich, warm vanilla bean flavour. For a silky smooth drink, add Creme De Cacao or heavy cream. This is a wonderful drink to enjoy by yourself or with a friend.
Smirnoff
If you are a lover of chocolate, you can never go wrong with a Smirnoff in a chocolate cocktail. This drink mixes chocolate liqueur and vodka with half-and half. The end result is a drink that tastes almost like a liquid dessert. This is a great pairing for tarts, fruit pies and fudgy brownies.
A chocolate martini can contain two types chocolate alcohol: chocolate liquor (which is thick and sweet) or creme de coco (which is thinner and more milky-like). Dark chocolate liqueur provides the best taste and color. Light chocolate liqueur has a milky, pale color.

How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is typically served in chilled glasses. A good martini should always be served straight up. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Stir vigorously until combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
