| Author Notes: | This particular recipe was contributed to my book by Kathy Casey of Seattle, Washington's Kathy Casey Food Studios. To many of us, the martini is gin and dry vermouth. But according to Seattle's cocktail and culinary diva and "Dishing" columnist for the Seattle Times, when it comes to the vodka martini, there is a wide assortment of impetuous variations that carry its name. So when asked to explore chocolate and coffee in the framework of a modern martini, Kathy Casey connected the ingredients with a delicate cream liqueur made from the fruit pulp of the African manula tree. Check your local liqueur store for availability (or substitute Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur). |
| Ingredients: |
Cocktail Pre-Mix: 1/2 cup Starbucks Coffee Liqueur 1/2 cup Amarula Cream (or Irish Cream Liqueur) 3 tablespoons chocolate sauce, high quality such as Fran's or Scharffen Berger 1/2 cup vanilla vodka Chocolate Cream: 1/3 cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce chocolate covered espresso beans |
| Instructions: |
To make the pre-mix, in a small contain combine the coffee liqueur, Amarula (or Irish Cream), chocolate sauce, and vodka. Transfer to a pretty bottle with a pour spout. The re-mix can be made up to a week in advance if kept refrigerated. To make the whipped cream, in a small bowl, combine the whipping cream and chocolate sauce and whip until very soft peaks are formed. To make the cocktail, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and then measure and add 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of the pre-mix. Shake vigoursly for 10 seconds, then strain into a small martini glass. Top each cocktail with a dollop of shipped cream and garnish with chocolate covered coffee beans. |
