Let’s Get Cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Fill a shaker with ice. Yes, get that ice in there! You want your martini nice and cold. (About ½ cup of ice should do it!)
Add Godiva chocolate liqueur and chocolate vodka to the shaker. Now, it’s time to mix things up! Drizzle in that rich liqueur and the chocolate vodka. My mouth’s watering just thinking about it.
Shake well until chilled. Give that shaker a good whirl. I mean, really shake it! Count to about 20 while you’re at it. It should feel nice and frosty to the touch.
Strain the mixture into a martini glass. Pour it in slowly, feel that sweet smoothness as it glides into the glass. Isn’t it pretty?
Garnish with fresh strawberries. Oh, the color! Place a strawberry or two on the rim to impress your guests or absolutely wow yourself tonight!
Enjoy your cocktail! Take a moment, sip, and allow yourself to savor every single drop. You’ve earned it!

Serve this Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini chilled and with a side of fresh strawberries. For an added treat, consider melting a bit of chocolate and drizzling it over your strawberries for an extra special touch.

Storage
Unfortunately, this delightful drink doesn’t fare well as leftovers, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. However, if you do happen to have extra chocolate liqueur or vodka, they can be stored in a cool, dark place for several months.

Freezer Friendly
Nope, not for this one, my friends. A martini like this is best shaken and served fresh. Save your freezing for other cocktails!
