About this Bailey's Chocolate Martini

While you can enjoy Baileys Irish Cream on its own, how about doing something more with it. A little bit of vodka, a splash of expresso and the flavor of chocolate. What else can you ask? This drink is simple, easy and very customizable. Add more vodka or Bailey's, perhaps you want less espresso or omit something altogether. The drink is still absolutely amazing no matter what changes you make.

Ingredients and substitutes (save/pin)

Baileys Irish cream is a rich and creamy liqueur made with Irish whiskey, condensed milk, fresh cream, coffee, and chocolate. You can use the original or make your own using my recipe. I always make my own homemade Baileys Irish cream. In fact, for this martini, you can even use my Butterscotch flavored Bailey's Irish Cream recipe
Vodka - is a clear distilled alcoholic beverage. Often used in combination with water, tonic water, aerated drinks or fruit juices.
Chocolate syrup - you can use any brand. Alternatively, you can also use a chocolate liquor or 1 tsp of cocoa powder in a pinch.
Espresso - any leftover espresso works but if you don't have espresso on hand you can use instant coffee.

Useful Tips and Tools

For some cocktails, you will need a blender or hand blender to blend the fruits
A cocktails shaker is very useful to have on hand but since I don't own one I often use a mason jar. it does a great job but make sure to only use crushed ice so the mason jar glass won't crack
A few Cocktail Glasses to serve.
You can also use Wine Glass or Margarita glasses. I love using my Martini glasses because they do look very pretty.
