Decadent Chocolate Raspberry Martini
The Chocolate Raspberry Martini features raspberry vodka plus a touch of Tia Maria or any other coffee liqueur of your choice. That touch of coffee bitterness adds a nice contrast to the sweetness of the raspberry.
Part of what makes this drink special is the cream. It adds a richness to the drink, especially if you use a full-fat cream or at least half-and-half (for those outside the US, half-and-half is equal parts whole milk and heavy cream).
It’s a rich, delicious drink that can actually substitute for dessert. It’s great for a romantic evening, but it also makes a wonderful nightcap anytime.
You can garnish this one in a few ways: put a few fresh raspberries in it, sprinkle cocoa powder across the surface, put a chocolate kiss or two in it, or any combination of the above.
You can also rim the glass with sweetened cocoa powder. I prefer to just skewer some raspberries and lay them across the top. It looks elegant and clean.
