SPARKLING CHOCOLATE MARTINI image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 recipe - 3 jiggers (1 1/2 fluid ounce) creme de cacao
1 recipe - 2 jiggers (1 1/2 fluid ounce) vodka
1 recipe - 1 jigger (1 1/2 fluid ounce) vanilla-flavored vodka
1 cup (divided) crushed ice
1/4 cup (or as needed) granulated sugar
1 recipe - 1 wedge orange
1 recipe (for garnish) chocolate candies or small chocolate canes

Steps:

Combine creme de cacao, vodka, and vanilla-flavored vodka in a cocktail shaker. Secure lid on shaker and shake vigorously.
Spread sugar onto a flat plate wider than your martini glasses. Run the orange wedge along the lip of each martini glass to assure it's moistened all the way around. Dip martini glasses in sugar to coat.
Divide remaining ice between the martini glasses. Strain the cocktail into the glasses.
Garnish finished martinis with small candy canes or a chocolate candy.
Note: Creme de cacao comes in clear or dark. The first looks more 'sparkly,' and the second looks more 'chocolate-y.' They taste the same, so it just depends on your visual preferences.
