Photograph by Seth Abel

Rank: Fourth Place

Rating: 2.5/5 hearts

Recipe:

- 2 teapsoons of chocolate syrup

- ice

- 1/2 cup of vodka

-1 fuild ounce of chocolate liqueur

-1 fuild ounce of white creme de cacao

- 2 maraschino cherries

A chocolaty mess of sorts, the “Chocolate Martini” hits a middle ground between strong and tasty. Almost muddy in color, the drink lacks a little of the Valentine’s Day flair. A mix of a hard liquor burn with a sweet chocolate taste, it’s a good combo for those that want to fully enjoy chocolate on V-day.
