Chocolate Martini #1
Hijole! This Michoacan Martini is one spicy treat to heat up Valentine’s Day. If you don’t get some from making one of these you must be dead.
The Mexican Chocolate martini is a spin on the popular Chocolate Martini, but has red-pepper flavored vodka as it’s base. Our cocktail draws it’s roots from the ancient Aztec drink “chocolatl” which was a coffee-like beverage made out of ground chile peppers and cocoa beans.
Later on the Europeans introduced sugar, cinnamon and milk into the chocolate beverage, which Mexicans enjoy today as a spicy delicious drink. Our version is ice cold and truer to the ancient drink. Ah progress.
2 oz Pepper Vodka
2 oz Dark Chocolate Liquor (Godiva Dark Chocolate is recommended)
Pour ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously then strain into a sugar-cayenne rimmed cocktail glass. When drinking this cocktail, imagine you’re a brave and noble Aztec warrior sacrificing his heart for his god/goddess.
Spicy Sugar Mix:
1/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper
Mix the sugar and ground red pepper and place in a saucer. Wet a paper towel and place onto another saucer. Use the paper towel saucer to wet the edge of your cocktail glass, then gently press the upside down glass onto the sugar-pepper mixture.
