This recipe contains two different types of chocolate alcohol.
The first, chocolate liqueur, is a thick, syrupy, very sweet spirit.

Both chocolate liqueur and creme de cacao are available in dark and light varieties.
For the purpose of a chocolate martini, either variety would work.
Garnish Your Chocolate Martini
This cocktail is typically garnished with a chocolate accoutrement.
The two most common garnishes arechocolate syrupor grated chocolate.
Ive included instructions for both but encourage you to choose just one.
Otherwise, the drink may end up too sweet.
To garnish with chocolate syrup:Hold the martini glass at an angle.
Tip the chocolate syrup bottle upside down with the nozzle pointing on the inside of the glass.
Squeeze a thin stream of chocolate syrup around the inside of the martini glass while rotating the glass.
The syrup will stick to the sides of the glass once the drink is poured into it.
To garnish with grated chocolate:Place the grated chocolate onto a small plate.
To another small plate add 2 tablespoons of water.
Dip the lip of the martini glass into the water to wet the rim of the glass.
Add the vodka, chocolate liqueur, creme de cacao, and half and half into the cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
Strain into a garnished martini glass and serve.
