You need this: the Chocolate Espresso Martini!

Mozartkugeln, which you may know as Mozart bonbons or Mozartkugels, are Austrian chocolate balls with a core of pistachio and marzipan, surrounded by hazelnut, almond, and pistachio nougat, and covered in chocolate. Is your mouth watering already? In any case, these chocolates were the inspiration for a chocolate liqueur (is this story getting even better?), and with it you can make an amazing Chocolate Espresso Martini!

Super easy, and a cheerful finale to all your festive dinners. Chocolate, vodka and espresso, bring it on…

Boozy golden touch

This recipe uses Mozart Cream Chocolate Liqueur, from a bottle wrapped in gold-colored foil that is reminiscent of those cheerful round bonbons. Everything about it screams ‘I WANT THIS!’, so here is the recipe for this choctail.

How to make a Chocolate Espresso Martini

Chill the glass in advance with ice cubes (or crushed ice if you have it). Put some ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Add 4 cl chocolate liqueur, 3.5 cl cold espresso and 2.5 cl vodka. Shake shake shake, pour the chilling ice and meltwater out of the glass, add fresh ice cubes, and pour the drink through the strainer into the glass. A tiny pinch of espresso powder on top and your choctail is ready; cheers!
