FAQs
It's easy to make a bunch at once! After all, who likes to drink alone? These cocktails pretty much have party written all over them. We have several different shakers that we love but this one is large enough to make martinis for 5 people.
Not at all! it is completely a matter of personal preference. The tastes of dark and light créme de cocoa are the same, but the color of your drink with be a little darker if you use the dark-colored liqueur.
The secret ingredient is definitely the vanilla vodka. There isn’t a large quantity of it but just enough to make a difference.
Do yourself a favor and grab a bottle the next time you're at the liquor store! You won’t regret it.

This was sooo good! We tested a bunch of chocolate cocktails against each other, and this was the winner, far and away. Thanks for a great recipe!
I asked for one on our recent cruise. The bartender said he would make it special. I said go for it. He added butterscotch schnapps to it. So yummy!!
I used raspberry vodka instead of vanilla vodka. It was perfect and everyone loved them!
