This creamy and delicious Godiva Chocolate Martini is made with just a handful of ingredients, and no bartender experience is needed!

This Godiva Chocolate Martini is a creamy and decadent dessert in a glass. It’s very drinkable, but don’t let it fool you. You need only one or two of these – you’ll thank me later. 🙂

I love martinis in general, but especially chocolate or espresso martinis. A couple of years ago, we had a family gathering at my husband’s uncle’s house for a Christmas party, and he made this Godiva chocolate martini. He gave me this recipe, I modified it a little bit, and I’ve been making it ever since.

This Godiva chocolate martini recipe is perfect for fall and winter, but I often make it throughout the year. You can say it’s my favorite drink ever.

If you’re looking for delicious and easy-to-make martini options, try the raspberry chocolate martini or the gin espresso martini. Both cocktails are simple to prepare and offer a delightful blend of flavors that will surely please your taste buds. Give them a try and see for yourself!

Some other holiday-inspired martinis and cocktails are this Bailey’s mint martini, s’mores martini, Bailey’s espresso martini, chai espresso martini, pumpkin spice espresso martini, salted caramel martini, white russian with kahlua, or peppermint espresso martini.

Ingredients

Godiva chocolate martini ingredients.
  • Godiva Chocolate Liqueur: I used Godiva Milk Chocolate Liqueur. This one will have a creamy and rich flavor.
  • DeKuyper Crème: I used DeKuyper Crème de Cacao Dark Liquer. It works great in combination with Godiva liqueur.
  • Vodka: I used Tito’s vodka. This is my favorite vodka. Of course, you can substitute it for the vodka of your preference – just a note if using vanilla-flavored vodka, that will add more sweetness to this martini.
  • Half-and-Half: Adding half-and-half will make this martini recipe so creamy.
  • Ice: I like to use crushed ice. I think it blends a little better with all the ingredients.

See recipe card for quantities.

What Tools do I need to Make this Martini

You’ll need some essential home bartending tools to make this chocolate martini recipe.

  • A cocktail shaker
  • A strainer
  • Something to measure the liqueur, like jigger

If you don’t have some of the tools I mentioned, this article from FOOD52 gives excellent suggestions for replacements!

Instructions

Before I start making this Godiva chocolate martini recipe, I gather all equipment and ingredients.

Step 1: I always put the martini glass in the freezer before making the cocktail. It helps with chilling the drink.

Step 2: Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with crushed ice and add all other ingredients. Cover the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds, holding the top and bottom.

Step 3: Using the cocktail strainer, strain into a chilled glass and add your favorite toppings.

And voila, you have the fancy martini in just a few minutes!

As you can see, you don’t need any special knowledge or bartending experience to make this yummy martini recipe.

Variations

Godiva Chocolate Liqueur:

  • Dark: Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur will have a flavor of unsweetened dark chocolate and a hint of cold-brewed coffee.
  • Milk Chocolate: Godiva Milk Chocolate Liqueur is the perfect balance between Dark and White Chocolate Liqueur. It’s creamy, yet it still has a strong liqueur taste.
  • White Chocolate: Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur is very creamy, and it’s perfect for a white chocolate martini.

DeKuyper Crème de Cacao:

  • Crème de Cacao Dark Liqueur: is dark brown, sweet liqueur, and has a rich, dark chocolate flavor.
  • Crème de Cacao White Liqueur: is a clear, colorless, sweet liqueur with an intense milk chocolate flavor.

Optional Garnish

Here are some of the great options for the garnish:

  • Chocolate shavings
  • Hazelnut
  • Cacao nibs
  • Cinnamon powder
  • Cacao powder

You can dip a rim of a martini glass in chocolate syrup or drizzle a little bit of chocolate into a glass before putting it into a freezer.
