This Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini is an absolute dream in a glass. The Godiva Chocolate Liqueur is so creamy and delicious on it’s own, but add Crème de Cocoa and Caramel Vodka to the mix…pure sinful delight.
Goodbye Better than Sex Cake…HELLO Better than Sex Martini!!! I wanted to do a sexy drink this week in honor of my wedding anniversary and this was the perfect choice. We really enjoyed the beginning of our Saturated Saturday with these beauties (probably a little too much). Hey now…sampling and experimenting are completely necessary for recipe development (even if it is in the middle of the afternoon). I guess that’s one of the many benefits of trying to keep up with all these Saturated Saturdays.
My MIL arrived promptly this afternoon to taste-test for me. She was more than excited when she found out that today was all about the chocolate martini. I think martini mixing might be my new calling…only a minor tweak proved to be necessary this time around. My MIL claimed that she was splitting her first round with my FIL, but after one sip it was over (and really over a few drinks later)!
I had to be cautious this time with drinking more than a few sips before picture time. These chocolate delights can be dangerously deceptive. It is so divine that you don’t even realize you are drinking alcohol. Yikes…soon enough “you” are making “Saturated Saturday” videos that you later watch and realize a few words were being slurred.
These Saturated Saturday tales are just exhausting me…that and my daughter’s strange allergic reaction to our “Rust Grass” tonight (sigh). Leave it to us to have rusty grass (totally real and weird). That’s what we get for our supreme lawn care abilities around here. I hope my future herb garden does better!
