Today’s guest post is from Josh Kirkpatrick, AKA Formica – you’ve seen him here before, rocking the beef stroganoff. Today he’s back with the perfect end-of-week treat, a chocolate martini recipe that will knock your socks off. And who cares if it’s still early in the day? I mean, come on… it’s five o’clock somewhere.
Is it egotistical to call something perfect? Yes; I’m doing it anyway.
This chocolate martini recipe is the result of years of experimentation, and two moments of satori:
- Take notes on each iteration of the drink
- Chocolate syrup is the key
Properly made, this chocolate martini should have the taste and consistency of melted chocolate ice cream.
Drinkin’ Math – One Shot Glass Equals:
- Three tablespoons
- 45 milliliters
Equipment:
- Cocktail shaker
- Cocktail glass
- Toothpick
- Fresh ice
- Measuring device (I suggest a shot glass marked in milliliters)
The Perfect Chocolate Martini Recipe
This chocolate martini recipe is so good, so refreshing, that you won't want to share. To make one Perfect Chocolate Martini, one part should equal two-thirds of a shot, or 30ml. Most shakers should be able to make two of these cocktails at once.
