  • 1.5 oz vodka
  • 1 oz chocolate liqueur
  • 1 oz strawberry purée
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • Ice
  • Chocolate syrup (for garnish)
  • Fresh strawberries (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the glass by drizzling chocolate syrup inside a chilled martini glass.
  2. Add vodka, chocolate liqueur, strawberry purée, and heavy cream to a shaker filled with ice.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well chilled. Strain into the prepared glass.
  4. Garnish with a fresh strawberry or chocolate-dipped strawberry.

Bartender Tip:

For the smoothest texture, use a fine mesh strainer when pouring the drink into the glass. This removes ice shards and creates a silky finish.

When making strawberry purée, blend fresh strawberries until smooth and strain out seeds. Using room-temperature cream helps prevent separation when shaking.

For presentation, drizzle chocolate syrup in a spiral inside the glass before chilling it. This creates the classic “chocolate drizzle” look when the martini is poured.
