Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 3 ounces (90 milliliters) vodka
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) Irish cream liqueur
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) chocolate liqueur
Cream and Texture:
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) heavy cream
- Ice cubes
Garnish and Decoration:
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
- 2 chocolate bunnies (the hollow kind in foil wrappers) for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the cocktail components by filling a shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add vodka, Irish cream liqueur, chocolate liqueur, and heavy cream. Seal tightly and shake energetically for 10 seconds to blend and aerate the mixture, creating a silky smooth texture.
- Craft an elegant presentation by drizzling chocolate syrup in a spiral pattern inside each martini glass. Begin at the bottom, tracing upward to the rim, allowing natural chocolate drips for visual appeal.
- Carefully strain the chilled mixture into the chocolate-swirled glasses, ensuring a clean pour without ice fragments. The liquid should display a luxurious, creamy consistency with intricate chocolate patterns.
- Prepare the chocolate bunny garnish by warming a butter knife under hot water, then thoroughly drying. With the bunny wrapper partially intact, use the heated knife to delicately slice the bottom at an angle matching the glass rim. Use a gentle sawing motion to create a precise cut.
- Position each chocolate bunny securely on the glass rim, angled to appear as if peeking into the cocktail. The whimsical garnish should be stable and positioned for maximum visual impact. Serve immediately to maintain the drink’s chilled temperature and pristine presentation.
Notes
- Chill Your Shaker Beforehand to ensure the cocktail stays cold longer and creates a frostier texture that enhances the creamy consistency of the drink.
- Experiment with Chocolate Types by using different quality chocolate liqueurs or adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder to customize the flavor profile and depth of the cocktail.
- Use Room Temperature Cream to prevent the mixture from separating and ensure a smoother, more integrated blend when shaking the ingredients together.
- Precision in Chocolate Bunny Placement matters – use a slightly warm knife and steady hand to create a clean, secure cut that allows the bunny to sit perfectly on the glass rim without sliding.
