The mixture of chocolate and orange in this vodka martini is a tasty treat. The signature of this cocktail is that the rim is covered in melted chocolate which is then chilled until solid. A very light taste of orange is contributed by an orange liqueur such as Cointreau or Grand Mariner. Go ahead, indulge yourself.

Ingredients:

  • chunks of chocolate for rimming
  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1/2 oz white crème de cacao
  • dash of Cointreau or Grand Mariner

  5. Stand the glass upright.
  6. Allow the chocolate to set.
