Cocktail Description

This sophisticated Choco-Mint Martini brings together the nostalgic combination of chocolate and mint in an elegant, grown-up package.

The drink balances the clean profile of Ketel One vodka with the vibrant mint freshness of Tempus Fugit Crème de Menthe, while Marie Brizard's white cacao liqueur adds rich chocolate notes without overwhelming sweetness. A touch of extra dry vermouth adds subtle complexity and helps marry the flavors together. The chocolate powder rim provides an aromatic introduction with each sip, creating a multi-sensory experience. Relatively simple to make, this cocktail requires only a mixing glass, bar spoon, and strainer—though precision with measurements is key to maintaining the proper balance. It makes a perfect after-dinner drink for special occasions or holiday gatherings, particularly during winter months or Valentine's Day celebrations. The Choco-Mint Martini pairs beautifully with vanilla-based desserts, chocolate truffles, or even a cheese plate featuring mild, creamy selections.
