Chocolate Raspberry Martini

Planning a special meal at home? Don't fret about dessert and serve the sweet finish in a glass instead with this easy Chocolate Raspberry Martini.

After dinner drinks are the perfect way to end a meal. I don't always have room for dessert and a cocktail. With this easy Chocolate Raspberry Martini, I get the best of both worlds.

Chocolate and raspberry is always a winning combination but I didn't stop there. I added a little something extra and used some Irish cream.

It takes this ordinary cocktail and turns it into a great dessert sipper.

Ingredients

Now don't be scared by the fact that this martini is pretty much straight alcohol, the rich chocolate flavor of the Irish cream makes it extremely smooth.

I love complexity the Irish Cream adds to this martini, and the créme de cocoa also enhances the chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. The raspberry vodka?

Add a skewer of fresh raspberries for a garnish and you have dessert done in all of 5 minutes.
