Chocolate Turtle Martini

This Chocolate Turtle Martini with Pecan Whiskey, Crème de Cacao and Butterscotch Schnapps is a decadent cocktail that is perfect for entertaining.  It gets topped off with a caramel and rim with chopped pecans and a swirl of chocolate sauce.

My husband ended up with this Pecan Whiskey after a card party and I couldn’t resist the idea of using it to make another dessert martini.  If you’ve been following me for a bit, you know that I can’t resist a good martini. 

The pecan flavor is a great addition to this creamy, chocolatey goodness that I will be drinking on the regular. I’m going to try using it to make a Pecan Pie Martini next!   So much fall inspiration with this flavor.

The Amazing Rim

I just can’t resist adding a fun rim job to my martinis and this one has chopped pecans and caramel.  The rim alone is a treat worth savoring in itself.  It might even measure up to my favorite, Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini with a pretzel rim!

Needed Ingredients

• 1 Shot (1.5 oz.) Pecan Whiskey
• 1 shot (1.5 oz.) Crème de Cocoa
• 1/2 shot (.75 oz.) Butterscotch Schnapps
• 1 tbsp. Chocolate Syrup
• 1 shot (1.5 oz.) Half & Half
• Chopped Pecans
• Caramel syrup

Variations

Substitute the chocolate sauce and Crème de Cocoa for a shot of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur if you have it available.  The result is a richer, delightful variation on this fun little cocktail.  I absolutely adore Godiva anything, but it can be a bit pricier.  For a skinnier version, feel free to substitute 2% milk for Half & Half.  The result is really just as good with less calories and fat.
