If the return from the martini and it's recent rediscovered popularity has you feeling left out while you're making a cocktail, then it is time you tried a chocolate martini. Let us face it, if it wasn't for that vermouth, a martini is really just straight vodka. For somebody who does not like straight vodka a martini can taste type of harsh. The solution is try among the numerous specialty martinis which are packing them in at martini bars. And one of the tastiest martinis about is the chocolate martini. There are a few various methods to make chocolate martinis and every one of them are delicious.

Chocolate Martinis are made with vodka. Gin and chocolate sounds like a terrible idea to me so thankfully I haven't seen a recipe like that. Most recipes call for vodka which is mixed with something chocolaty like Godiva Liqueur or Creme De Cacao. This first recipe contains both.
