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 Irish Cream in a chocolate martini for me.
It’s a seemingly pretty simple recipe, but getting the proportions right took a little perfecting.
What ingredients do you need for this chocolate martini recipe?
- Chocolate Liqueur
- Creme de Cocoa Liqueur
- Vanilla Vodka
- Milk
What’s the secret to a great chocolate martini?
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.

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!!
