This combinatio­n of sweet chocolate, cool peppermint and crisp glacier vodka makes for a sensationa­l dessert martini.

Chocolate Mint Martini

Ingredient­s

1 oz Banff Ice Vodka ½ oz Bols Creme de Cacao ¼ oz Bols Peppermint Liqueur Grated chocolate, to garnish

Method

Set aside a martini glass filled with ice to chill while mixing the drink.

Pour all ingredient­s into a mixing glass half filled with ice. Stir until cold, around 20-30 seconds.

Discard ice from the martini glass, wet the rim, and roll in grated chocolate. Strain chilled ingredient­s into martini glass and add a pinch of grated chocolate over the drink.

Tips

If you find this martini a little too strong for your liking, shake rather than stir. This will cause more ice to melt into the drink, slightly diluting it.
