I typically don’t like super sweet drinks. But man-oh-man this is one tasty beverage. More boozy desert than anything. Very simple to make and perfect on a cozy winter evening. Enjoy!
Tools you’ll need:
- cocktail shaker
- measuring cup
- grater or plane
- handful of ice
- chilled martini glass
Ingredients
- 4oz your favorite vodka
- 4oz chocolate liqueur (I used Trader Vic’s because they were out of Ghirardelli)
- 4oz Bailey’s original
- Chocolate syrup
- Ghirardelli peppermint bark square (or any chocolate you have – but this is the peppermint element)
Combine first three ingredients in the cocktail over ice. Shake really well. Shave about a tablespoon of the chocolate bar of your choice and set aside. Put a small dot of the chocolate syrup on your finger and run it around the rim of the frosted glass. Repeat until the rim has chocolate syrup all around it. Roll through the shavings until coated. You could also use crushed candy canes for this.
Right before you are ready to pour, drizzle chocolate syrup along the walls around the inside of the glass. Immediately pour shaken mixture into glass before the chocolate starts to drip.
PRO TIP: Having all ingredients cold helps the look of the drink hold up. So does frosting the glass.
