This Godiva Chocolate Martini is a creamy and decadent dessert in a glass. It's very drinkable, but don't let it fool you. You need only one or two of these – you'll thank me later. :)

I love martinis in general, but especially chocolate or espresso martinis. A couple of years ago, we had a family gathering at my husband's uncle's house for a Christmas party, and he made this Godiva chocolate martini. He gave me this recipe, I modified it a little bit, and I've been making it ever since.

This Godiva chocolate martini recipe is perfect for fall and winter, but I often make it throughout the year as well. You can say it's my favorite drink ever.

Here is the full list of all ingredients needed for this recipe. For precise measurements, please look at the recipe card.

Godiva Chocolate Liqueur: I used Godiva Milk Chocolate Liqueur. This one will have a creamy and rich flavor.
DeKuyper Crème: I used DeKuyper Crème de Cacao Dark Liquer. It works great in combination with Godiva liqueur.

How to Make Godiva Chocolate Martini

Before I start making this Godiva chocolate martini recipe, I gather all equipment and ingredients. I always put the martini glass in the freezer before I start making the cocktail. It helps with chilling the drink.

Then, fill the cocktail shaker halfway with crushed ice and add all other ingredients. Cover the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds, holding both top and bottom.

Using the cocktail strainer, strain into a chilled glass and add your favorite toppings.

And voila, you have the fancy martini in just a few minutes!

As you can see, you don't need any special knowledge or bartending experience to make this yummy martini recipe. The martini that I made the first time tastes the same as the martini I made last weekend.
