Needing a new twist on the classic chocolate martini?? How about adding some Peppermint Twist?? This will take your chocolate martini’s up a notch! Plus add a crushed pretzel rim and it’s magic!!
INGREDIENTS – Makes 1 Martini
2 oz. Smirnoff Peppermint Twist Vodka
2 oz. Chocolate Liqueur
Splash of Heavy Cream
Pretzel Crust Rim
Karo Syrup
Shaved Chocolate
DIRECTIONS
Chill a martini glass. Pour the vodka, chocolate liqueur and heavy cream into a cocktail shaker with ice. Crush up some pretzels. Take a bit of karo syrup and “wet” the rim with the syrup (don’t go overboard!). Dip your martini glass into your crushed up pretzels. Pour the chocolate peppermint martini into your glass and top with some shaved chocolate. Enjoy!
