The Perfect Fusion of Chocolate and Vodka!
Next time you’re having a dinner party, this should be your beverage of choice! The Chocolate Coffee Martini is super sweet, yet so deep in flavour! Sometimes you’re not in the mood for both alcohol and coffee, but a drink that combines both doubles as a delicious dessert and a refreshing drink!
Chocolate, coffee, and alcohol… what’s not to like? We all need some alcohol in our system once in a while, and this martini is a perfect way to make all your chocolatey dreams come true!
Light yet so refreshing, and combines two of my favourite things! It couldn’t get any better! A classic Martini is enough to get me going, I can’t imagine what a Chocolate Coffee Martini will do! There’s no better way to get your much needed boost of energy!
History of the Coffee Martini
Rumour has it that in the year 1983 at Soho Brasserie in London, a customer entered the bar and requested a drink that would instantly wake her up. The bartender considered giving her coffee; however, Vodka was a people’s favourite back then, and the rest is history!
If you’re looking for a wonderful treat with a satisfyingly smooth foam and a fragrant yet sweet finish, the aromatic Chocolate Coffee Martini with its boozy layers is a must try!
What is a Martini?
A Martini is an alcoholic drink that has Vodka as its base ingredient. It’s typically garnished with olives as a finishing touch!
Martinis are strong-tasting drinks that have a deep spicy flavour. They have evolved and started to include other flavours and combinations that are a must have during special occasions.
This drink is creamy yet very refreshing. With so many flavours that mellow down the spicy taste of the Martini, chocolate adds so much flavour and texture to this cocktail and provides a perfect balance between the sweet and bitter.
A Decadent Cocktail
Chocolate and alcohol is a combination that works so well to produce a drink with a silky smooth texture. As the chocolate in this cocktail starts to melt slightly, it flavours your drink with all the chocolate goodness.
With leftover coffee to spare, Kahlua, a dash of chocolate, and any coffee-flavoured liqueur, you can create a quick drink that is great for parties!

Tips for the Best Drink!
Don’t forget to layer the ingredients of your drink in the same order!
Ensure that all your ingredients, including the vodka, coffee liqueur, and cold brewed coffee, are chilled before mixing. This will help keep the cocktail cold and refreshing.
Serve your Chocolate Coffee Martini in a chilled martini glass. Pre-chill the glass in the freezer beforehand to keep the cocktail at an optimal temperature.
Chocolate Coffee Martinis are best enjoyed immediately after preparation to savour the flavours at their peak. Avoid letting the drink sit for too long, as the ice may melt and dilute the flavours.
Add a huge amount of ice and fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
Don’t forget to use coffee for garnish!

Can I replace my Kahlua with something else?
Sure. Feel free to use espresso or any other brand of instant coffee.

I used Kahlua and a coffee-flavoured drink, but using a homemade chocolate liqueur that’s more on the creamy side is also a great idea. If you were to use a creamy chocolate liqueur, I’m sure it would be wonderful! They’re available at any liqueur store!
This brown cocktail is one of the best coffee liquors. The coffee-flavoured Vodka is lightened with chocolate and cream, leaving you feeling satisfied.

This ideal blend is great for after dinner treats and gatherings! if you’re after a warming evening drink, it also pairs beautifully with a milky coffee or hot chocolate.
How to Clean Martini Glasses?
Do not use hot water to clean your wine and Martini glasses. Leaving water in the glasses overnight helps get rid of the leftover wine if you’re planning on cleaning them tomorrow. Handle each glass with care!
Make sure you don’t twist them too much while washing!
