I don’t know about you, but the easiest way I express my love is through food! Making a recipe from the heart and feeding those I care for most makes me the happiest. And to be clear, that extends to a good cocktail every now and then too! Celebrate your love this Valentine’s Day and every day after with this delicious chocolate covered strawberry martini. Sweet and simple, this cocktail is a fun play on a romantic classic pairing.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini
Let’s set the scene. You are planning a wonderful romantic dinner for your valentine. You’ve got the whole menu planned, steak, seafood, whatever your heart desires. You have to finish the meal with a sweet treat, right? Why not make a dessert cocktail? Enter, the chocolate covered strawberry martini. No need to hand dip strawberries in melted chocolate and wait for them to set. Who wants to clean that mess up anyway. Instead, just pull out that cocktail shaker!
Start with your glasses. For the fun of it, and also to drive home the chocolate flavor, I like to rim my glasses with chocolate. No need to melt any, simply take a tablespoon or two of chocolate syrup, pour it on a small plate, and roll the rim of your martini glasses around in it. It is totally fine if it drips into the glass a bit, that only adds to the flavor!
Now, in a cocktail shaker full of ice, add 2 oz each of vanilla vodka, creme de cacao, and Strawberries and Cream Bailey’s. Also add in 1oz of white chocolate syrup. You can use regular chocolate here, but I used white because the Bailey’s has a pretty pink tone to it, so dark chocolate would discolor it.
Shake the drink vigorously for 5-10 seconds and strain into your martini glasses. This is just enough for two perfect martinis, one for you and your love. Garnish with a strawberry and some shaved chocolate right on top. No better way to end a romantic date than with these sweet and simple cocktails.
