• Chocolate sauce or syrup for the glass
• Chocolate shavings for the rim

To make this cocktail, you’ll need some martini glasses, you can get stemless martini glasses if you prefer. A good cocktail shaker set will come in handy and it has most everything else you’ll need.

Directions

Step 1: To make this cocktail, start by adding a shallow layer of corn syrup to a small plate, and repeat this with the chocolate shavings in another plate. Grab one of your favorite martini glasses, and dip the rim of the glass into the corn syrup, followed by the chocolate shavings.

Step 3: Take the chocolate syrup, and add a swirl of chocolate around the inside of the glass, and then quickly pour the prepared cocktail, strained, into the glass.

FAQs:

Is Godiva chocolate liqueur the same as creme de cacao?

No, creme de cacao is a chocolate liqueur, but unlike the Godiva it does not have cream. It adds extra chocolate flavors, with a hint of vanilla, but doesn’t contribute to the creaminess of this cocktail.

Does Godiva chocolate liqueur need to be refrigerated?

No, Godiva chocolate liqueur does not have to be refrigerated. It does contain cream, but the alcohol included keeps it from going bad when left at room temperature.

What kind of alcohol is in Godiva chocolate liqueur?

Godiva liqueur is a neutral grain spirit, kind of like vodka. The alcohol flavors in this are so subtle, there is just a bit of alcohol included.

Tips & Tricks:

• You can use any Godiva chocolate liqueur in this drink. We used regular chocolate, but you can also use dark chocolate liqueur or white chocolate liqueur. You can also use other chocolate liqueur brands if you can’t find Godiva near you.
• You can use any vodka you have on hand. Plain vodka is fine, and whipped cream vodka is also delicious. You could try and find chocolate flavored vodka, even. We felt like the vanilla was a great compliment to the chocolate flavors.
• To make your chocolate shavings, carefully use a grater or a micro planer to grate the chocolate. You can use milk chocolate, or any other chocolate you prefer.
• Take these to the next level by garnishing with Godiva chocolate truffles.
