carol's chocolate coffee martini

Last Saturday I got a sudden craving for a chocolate martini.  Brought on by watching the Pioneer Woman make one on her show. 

Ree made a chocolate orange martini that looked great, but I wanted to put a bit of a different spin on it.  I pulled down these bottles and prepared to do some taste testing.

1 shot Dizzy Three coffee vodka, 1 shot Godiva chocolate cream liqueur, 1 shot creme de cacao, one shot whole milk or half and half. 
Shake it up in a cocktail shaker full of ice.  Strain into a martini glass.

For the record, this attempt at using up mini hearts to rim a martini glass was a disaster.  Don't bother to try it.  Stick with the customary blend of finely shaved chocolate and sugar.

Don't forget to shave a little chocolate on top of your drink too.  It heightens the element of aromatherapy, thus adding to the whole experience.  This was so good I had one on Saturday and one on Sunday.  I needed to be sure it was worthy of passing on.  It is.  I made it on Saturday with half and half, on Sunday with whole milk.  I liked it better with the whole milk.  Use what you have on hand.
