Cocktail Description
This is no ordinary martini – the French Chocolate Martini delivers a sophisticated fusion of cognac warmth and deep cocoa complexity that will transport you straight to a Parisian café.
The smoothness of Hennessy V.S. creates a refined base while the herbal honey notes from Bénédictine add mysterious depth. Carpano Antica Formula contributes rich vanilla and spice, perfectly complementing the aromatic cocoa bitters that tie everything together. Upon first sip, you'll notice a velvety texture with chocolate-forward flavors balanced by the cognac's fruit and oak character. This elegant sipper makes for an impressive after-dinner cocktail when you want to indulge without the creaminess of traditional dessert drinks. Despite its complex flavor profile, it's surprisingly straightforward to prepare – just stir, strain, and garnish with a Luxardo cherry. The cocktail pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, fresh berries, or savory cheese plates featuring aged Gouda or Comté.
