A rich and indulgent cocktail blending velvety chocolate liqueur with fresh strawberry puree, perfect for romantic evenings or elegant parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 medium fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1.5 oz (45 ml) chocolate liqueur (e.g., Godiva Chocolate Liqueur)
  • 2 oz (60 ml) vodka (e.g., Tito’s or Smirnoff)
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) strawberry liqueur (e.g., DeKuyper Strawberry Liqueur)
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 0.25 oz (7 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Cocoa powder or finely crushed chocolate (optional, for rimming the glass)
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberry puree by washing and hulling 6-8 fresh strawberries. Blend until smooth and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a silky texture. This takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Rim the martini glass by wetting the edge with a slice of strawberry or lemon juice, then dip into cocoa powder or crushed chocolate. Chill the glass in the freezer.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add 1.5 oz chocolate liqueur, 2 oz vodka, 0.5 oz strawberry liqueur, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and 2 oz fresh strawberry puree.
  4. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled and blended.
  5. Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared martini glass to remove any seeds or pulp.
  6. Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim or dropped into the glass.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy within 15-20 minutes for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for best flavor. Strain the puree to remove seeds for a smooth texture. Rim the glass with cocoa powder or crushed chocolate for extra flair. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or lemon juice to taste. For dairy-free, choose a dairy-free chocolate liqueur. Can substitute simple syrup with honey syrup or agave syrup for vegan version.
