Cocktail Description

The Cocoa Gin-tini transforms the classic martini into a sophisticated dessert-in-a-glass, with chocolate notes that balance perfectly against the botanical punch of gin.

This elegant cocktail combines the juniper-forward profile of Beefeater London Dry with the sweet citrus of Triple Sec and the creamy chocolate notes of white crème de cacao. The result is surprisingly balanced—neither too sweet nor too boozy—with the gin's herbaceous character complemented by subtle cocoa and orange undertones. It's relatively simple to make but requires proper shaking technique to achieve the ideal silky texture and slight dilution. The Cocoa Gin-tini shines as an after-dinner drink, making it perfect for dinner parties or date nights when you want something more interesting than a standard dessert cocktail. Try pairing it with dark chocolate truffles, vanilla panna cotta, or even savory dishes like duck with cherry sauce where the chocolate notes create an unexpected bridge between food and drink.
