I tend to go for the Latin Liquours - rum, tequilla, passionfruit liquour. But for January I decided to take on the martini. But being a girly girl - I wanted a flavored martini - not the classic.
So I found a recipe for a Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini. This sounded really delish because I was in a chocolate and cherry combo mood. Problem was it required chocolate vodka, cherry vodka, and creme de cacao - 3 liquors I did not have. However - I did have Godiva liquer, Raspberry liquer, and vodka. I also had a jar of chocolate raspberry syrup that I had bought on my summer trip in Maine. Hence the birth of the Chocolate Raspberry Kiss Martini.
1 cup ice cubes
1 shot Godiva/chocolate liquer
1 shot Raspberry liquer
2 shots Vodka
2 Tbsp/1 shot Half-and-Half (fat free works fine)
Dash Chocolate/Chocolate-Raspberry Syrup
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a drink shaker. Place cover on shaker and then shake about 15-20 seconds. Strain into martini glasses and serve.
If you want to make the drink super fancy - you could rim the sides of the glasses with cocoa powder or a red violet sugar. You could also garnish with chocolate shavings, hershey kisses, raspberries, or even chocolate covered raspberries.
This is a really strong drink- and it goes really far. About 2/3rds of this recipe filled up a martini glass. But it's incredibly yummy.
If you are on Weight Watchers this recipe counts for about 10 points for a full serving.
