Chocolate Cake Martini


A wonderful, and strong, dessert drink with a complicated character.

Fill a shaker halfway with ice, and, as usual, fill the vanilla vodka to the ice line. Fill half the remaining shaker space with Creme de Cacao, then and about half of what's left then with Frangelico. The recipe called for a squeeze of lemon juice, but we were out. Anyway, any sweet drink that calls for lemon juice is often better served by limoncello. So just a tiny pour of that. The grand finale- a teaspoon of Hershey's Cocoa. Err on the smaller side. It doesn't take much to thicken this beautiful beverage.

I rimmed my glass with Stirrings Holiday Rimmer- a blend of holiday flavors like brown sugar, hazelnut, cinnamon, all that crap. It's wonderful.

This girly drink will kick you in the balls. I'll take it over real chocolate cake any day of the week, and yes, it really does taste like it.

5 stars.
