This Chocolate Martini recipe is one of our favorite ways to celebrate special occasions. Just measure, shake and pour!
There is nothing that says a special occasion like chocolate. And why not step out of the box this year and celebrate with a Chocolate Martini? Our chocolate martini recipe is so smooth, it almost tastes like chocolate milk with a little kick. This recipe has been in our house for a while, and these chocolate martinis are always a hit whenever they are served.
I’m pretty particular about my martinis, and I’ve seen so many chocolate martini recipes that have Baileys in them. Not this one. I’m a purist, so no Baileys for me.
It’s a seemingly pretty simple recipe, but getting the proportions right took a little perfecting. The result is a great blend of Godiva liqueur, Creme de Cocoa, vodka and milk, but the secret ingredient in this drink is definitely the vanilla vodka.
There isn’t a large quantity of vanilla vodka but just enough to make a difference – the smoothness that the vanilla flavor adds to the chocolate martini is amazing. Definitely grab yourself a bottle the next time you’re at the liquor store! You won’t regret it.
This chocolate martini is so easy to make and looks so pretty with the chocolate sauce swirl on the inside of the glass. Want to know exactly how to make one? Check out our video for a quick how-to!

What is creme de cocoa? Is that liquor or like hot cocoa?
It’s a liqueur. You can find it at your local liquor store. It is relatively inexpensive.
The recipe is 1 1/2 “Ounces” of Creme de Cocoa?
