Chocolate Drizzled Cherry Martini

(Disclaimer: If you live in the United States, you must be 21 years of age or order to buy or drink alcohol)

This Chocolate Cheery Martini is so pretty and delicious, you’ll be as proud serving it to your honey, as you are to a group of your best friends.  It’s a beautiful cocktail party drink.

With the delicate yet rich flavors of cherry and chocolate, this Chocolate Cherry Martini is a perfect after dinner drink.  It’s like sipping a liquid desert.

You could serve this after my Chicken Marsala, and Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

You could also serve this after a Rib Eye Steak dinner, along with a generous of my Creamy Scalloped Potatoes with Sage Butter, and some Steakhouse Style Creamed Spinach.  Sign me up!  I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

How to make a Chocolate Drizzled Cheery Martini:

Prep the martini glasses by drizzling them inside with chocolate syrup.  I used Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup in mine because it has a nice chocolaty flavor and it’s easy to pour.

Feel free to get creative with the design.  Have fun with it.  Bartending is supposed to be fun.

Fill a Cocktail Shaker with Ice.

An inexpensive cocktail shaker, like the one I’m using, will do the job in limited quantities.  There are much more fancy, professional quality cocktail shakers available.

First, pour in the Cherry flavored Vodka into the cocktail shaker.  The Cherry Vodka will give you a nice, smooth cherry flavor that’s not overpowering.

Next, pour in the Irish Cream.  Pick a Irish Cream with a high cocoa content.  This will give your drink that chocolaty flavor.

Add the Maraschino Cherry Juice.  This will intensify the cherry flavor in the vodka, and will add a pinkish hue to the drink.

Add the Grenadine.  This will brighten the pink hue, and also sweeten the drink.

Put the lid on the cocktail shaker and give it a couple of shakes.

Pour the drink into the prepared martini glasses.

Top with a cherry.

Cheers!

Enjoy responsibly!
