Old Saint Nick’s Chocolate Espresso Martini. A festive martini to celebrate both Christmas and the New Year. Shake up classic espresso martini ingredients of vodka, Kahlúa, and a shot of espresso with a shot of both chocolate and dark chocolate liquor. Each martini is perfectly chocolatey, a touch creamy, and hinted with vanilla. The addition of chocolate and vanilla makes a classic espresso martini that’s just that much more delicious. A wonderful holiday treat to cap off the night. It’s that chocolate on top that really makes this special!
Merry Christmas Eve!! I don’t usually share a Christmas Eve post, but with the holiday falling on a Saturday this season, this felt like the right cocktail (or mocktail), to share with you all.
A sweet, chocolate martini fitting for capping the long night off. I do think Old Saint Nick and even the Griswolds would fully approve of this nightcap.
Details
This could not be more straightforward, quick, and simple. Shake the vodka, Kahlúa, a shot of espresso, a shot of chocolate liquor, a shot of dark chocolate liquor, and a small drop of vanilla up in a cocktail shaker. Make sure to add ice to get a nice chilled martini.
Once shaken, add hot fudge sauce to each martini glass rim, then pour over the martini.
The end result is a sweet martini with just the right amount of espresso, chocolate, hints of vanilla, and a little creaminess too. Oh so GOOD!
The key to a good espresso martini is all in that frothy top. I know it might seem like a hard thing to achieve, but it’s actually very easy. You just need to really shake the drink together with ice for a good minute to create the froth. The harder you shake, the more froth you’ll get.
Alright, that’s all from us for the next couple of days. Have a wonderful Christmas!! Enjoy this special, cozy time, and soak up every minute!
