1. Chocolate Martini

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz of Bailey’s Irish Cream(or other) 
  • 1 oz chocolate Liquor 
  • 2 oz vodka 
  • chocolate Syrup(garnish/optional) to your liking 

Notes: 

  • Chocolate Martinis can also be easily customized in so many great ways 
  • You can always add a raspberry or cherry liquor in, or espresso for your liking 
  • Shaken or stirred, the question of the century. Here’s the deal, it’s your choice and you can make this cocktail merely by stirring without the need of a cocktail shaker. I thought do prefer this recipe shaken with some ice. 

 

Directions: 

If you want to garnish with chocolate syrup, make sure you drizzle chocolate syrup inside of the martini glasses before assembling the cocktail, as well as rimming the glass if you’d like. 

Combine the Bailey’s, Chocolate Liquor, and Vodka together in a shaker with some ice. Strain and serve in the garnished glasses. 

 

2. Cosmopolitan (Cosmo)

Ingredients: 

  • 1  oz vodka or citron vodka 
  • 1 oz cranberry juice (sweetened or unsweetened)

You have an option of either on the rocks or straight up. On the rocks, add all ingredients into an old fashioned glass with ice and stir, and twist orange peel on the edge of the glass.

  7. ‘Here’s to you and here’s to me, Friends may we always be! But, if by chance we disagree, Up yours! Here’s to me!’
