COCKTAILS

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Chocolate Martini

yield: 2 CHOCOLATE MARTINIS prep time: 10 MINUTES total time: 10 MINUTES

Ingredients

FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE:

•  1 cup heavy cream
•  5oz semi sweet chocolate (I use 1.5 bars of Lindt), roughly chopped

FOR THE CHOCOLATE MARTINIS:

•  1oz good quality vodka, divided
•  4oz Baileys irish cream, divided
•  Grated chocolate to decorate glasses

Instructions

TO MAKE THE GANACHE:

1. Heat the heavy cream, over medium high heat, until it starts to boil.
2. Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate in a medium sized bowl and stir until the chocolate melts.
3. Let it cool before making the cocktails

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE MARTINIS:

1. To decorate the glasses, moisten the rim of your glasses with cold water. Turn the glasses upside down and dip them into the grated chocolate, twisting them around so you get more chocolate on the rim. Reserve.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway through with ice.
3. Add 1 cup of chocolate ganache, 0.5oz of vodka and 2oz of Baileys. Shake it vigorously for 30 seconds.
4. Pour the Chocolate Martini into one of the decorated glasses.
5. Repeat those steps to make the 2nd cocktail.
6. Serve cold.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
