I often wonder who I was in life before I discovered the perfection that is the chocolate martini.
Working at a gastropub over the summer has enlightened me to more upscale cocktails compared to the more reckless concoctions from university piss ups (combining week-old Fanta with any last dregs of spirits of wines from the booze cabinet). This particular drink, for me, is the cocktail du jour, du mois, or even perhaps de l'annee...it simply encompasses elegance, romance, and insouciant indulgence.
Okay, perhaps that's a little over glorifying for a mere mixture of vodka, chocolate liqueur and creme de cacao but when lightly dusted with cocoa powder, garnished with a strawberry and sipped on a sun drenched terrace on a warm summer evening, the result is pure heaven.
A simple recipe can be found here, but there are many variations...get a-googling!
