Tired of the same old chocolate martini? Need a little extra spice for Valentine's Day?

Follow me for the secret (not anymore) recipe!
Step 1: Ingredients You'll Need

If you have your own favorite brands they can be substituted but proportions may need to change.
Do some taste testing!!!

Strawberries
Tips: Chocolate grates more easily if it is frozen.
Accent your drink with a gourmet flair!!
Step 3: Equipment You'll Need
martini glass

Tip: if you don't have a shaker you can use 2 glasses to pour the liquid back a forth to mix. One glass will need to be slightly smaller than the other so you can pour the liquid out without the ice cubes when you are finished mixing it.

Optional extra: if you want more chocolate you can drizzle chocolate syrup in the glass before adding the mixture

Yehay! for Green and Blacks Mayan Gold! Looks like a nice drink. I Know Baileys is a Whiskey based liqueur, but your link to the "Godiva" one appears to be broken. Do you know what the base alcohol is in there?

Hi There,
Here's the link to the Godiva site (I can't update the information here for 2 weeks because this Instructable is part of a class competition - help me out and send this to all your friends!!!!) http://www.godiva.com/beyond_chocolate/liqueur.aspx#
But the answer to your question is not on the Godiva site. Godiva Liqueur is purchased for another company named Diageo at www.diageo.com. I contacted them and the base alcohol is a grain neutral spirit.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

Thank you for taking the time to look that up, it's interesting, and it should help folks figure out other substitutions, since Whiskey is at heart a Grain Alcohol, I would expect most other gran based liqueurs would be suitable, but of course they would have different effects...
Benedictine?
Cointreau? (gotta love the combination of Chocolate and orange)

Looks good! :) I hope I can try it! Do you know if there is gluten or caramel color in the Godiva? I will have to take a look. :) Good luck! :) - Donna
