A Chocolate Martini is not a serious drink. It is strictly a fun concoction, especially blended for parties and light-hearted socializing. Our recipe is easy enough for the home mixologist and swank enough for the discerning martini drinker.

1/2 tablespoon good-quality Dutch process cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur
1 1/2 shots Creme de Cacao
1/2 shot vanilla-flavored vodka
2 1/2 shots half-and-half

Mix cocoa and sugar together. Rim a chilled martini glass with water and dip into cocoa and sugar mixture. Shake chocolate liqueur, Creme de Cacao, vodka, and half-and-half in a cocktail shaker over ice. Pour into martini glass.
