6 ounces white chocolate, such as Lindt, chopped, plus more for grating, optional
1/3 cup vodka, chilled in the freezer
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups boiling water

Cool the chocolate mixture, whisking occasionally. Scrape the chocolate mixture into a blender. Add the vodka, sugar, vanilla and espresso ice cubes. Blend until smooth, at least 1 minute.

ESPRESSO MARTINIS

This is a designer cocktail if ever I saw one. The combo of vanilla, chocolate and coffee will satisfy those latté chugging friends during cocktail hour. If you have some bittersweet chocolate, you can shave some over the whipped cream and even add a sprinkle of cocoa for a chocolate caffeine blast. Mocha never tasted so good From Five Ingredient Fix
