Don't Mess with My Martini!

I receive many newsletters via email, assisting me with healthy living ideas, recipes, etc.  I received one today that went too far.  It touted a recipe for a vegan chocolate martini....

Now, I'm all about health, but when I saw the martini ingredients, I was shocked and dismayed:

-Organic vodka, vegan hot chocolate mix and soy milk...come on now!

From time to time, I believe that one should splurge just a little and a chocolate martini should not contain soy milk.  So, to be fair, I've included a real chocolate martini recipe to enjoy for the holidays.  Enjoy and savor it well!


Ingredients

  • 4 fluid ounces chocolate liqueur
  • 3 fluid ounces vodka
  • 1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate, grated

Directions

  1. In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine chocolate liqueur and vodka. Shake vigorously and strain into 2 chilled martini glasses. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
