Btms^ for Tuesday, July 7.
Drink Forecast for Today! (DF 4 2day): Chocolate Martini! On this date in 1550, chocolate was introduced.
Here’s one of our favorite recipes for a rich and decadent Chocolate Martini: Pour a shot (1 and 1/2 oz.) of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, a shot of creme de cacao liqueur, 1/2 oz Denaka Vodka and 2 1/2 oz half and half over ice in a cocktail shaker and shake for about a minute to mix and chill. Garnish Martini glass with either a few drizzles of chocolate syrup in the glass, or dip dampened rim in cocoa powder. Pour strained shaker contents into Martini glass. Enjoy!
