There are times when you crave a salty snack and then there are times when you crave a sweet snack and the same goes with cocktails. When looking for the salty cocktail nothing beats a dirty vodka martini but when looking for a sweet cocktail I always think of chocolate. When that happens, my mind quickly goes to a chocolate martini served in a frosted martini glass. In this cocktail I use many of the same ingredients I used for the caramel espresso martini thus it provides yet another drink you can make without buying any new ingredients. I do use 1 oz of half & half which makes the drink even creamier and decadent then most. This is a great after dinner cocktail or just a fun one for those of your drinking friends that love chocolate. Have fun with decorating the glass which makes this drink even more fun and don’t forget to put chocolate shavings on top to kick-it-up a notch. Enjoy!!!
