Make hosting a special dinner party for a couple of friends more special by serving pre dinner Chocolate Martini?s! Having a slight sip pre-dinner whets the appetite and gets the taste buds going and personally I think pre dinner martini drinks are best served in small 3oz-4oz martini glasses! A line quoted from Shakespeare?s Henry IV play sums that up?
Falstaff said? ?Come, I will go drink with you, but I cannot tarry dinner.?
Cr?me de Cacao is a cacao (chocolate bean) flavoured?liqueur with hints of vanilla and comes in clear or dark varieties, both taste the same! This is not the same as a chocolate liqueur which is much sweeter and more syrupy! Rimming the glass with a touch of honey and chopped chocolate adds a touch of sweetness and a richer chocolate taste which counters the bitter taste of alcohol! You could also try using the clear cr?me de cacao and rim the glass with chopped white chocolate!
Ingredients:
- honey, for rimming the glasses
- finely chopped dark chocolate, for rimming the glasses
- 1oz vodka
- 3oz dark cr?me de cacao
- a few ice cubes
How to make: Take two small plates and spread a light layer of honey on one and sprinkle the chopped chocolate over the other plate. Lightly stamp the rim of each martini glass into the honey and then into the chocolate, making sure the rim of the glass is coated with chocolate.?Pour the vodka and cr?me de cacao into a cocktail shaker with a few ice cubes and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Strain the drink into prepared glasses and serve immediately.?Serves ?2.
