Print Recipe

A rich and elegant cocktail blending bittersweet chocolate, fresh raspberries, and creamy vodka for a luscious, velvety drink perfect for cozy nights and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces vodka (quality brand like Tito’s or Grey Goose)
  • 1 ounce chocolate liqueur (preferably Godiva)
  • ¼ cup fresh raspberries (about 40 grams), muddled
  • ½ ounce raspberry liqueur (e.g., Chambord)
  • 1 ounce heavy cream (can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • ½ ounce simple syrup (homemade or store-bought, adjust sweetness to taste)
  • Ice cubes (enough for shaking and chilling)
  • Garnish: fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Place ¼ cup fresh raspberries in your cocktail shaker and gently muddle with a muddler or the back of a spoon for 1-2 minutes, releasing juice but keeping some texture.
  2. Add 2 ounces vodka, 1 ounce chocolate liqueur, and ½ ounce raspberry liqueur to the shaker and swirl gently to combine.
  3. Pour in 1 ounce heavy cream and ½ ounce simple syrup to add richness and balance the tartness.
  4. Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with ice cubes to chill and dilute slightly.
  5. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside is cold and frosty.
  6. Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a pre-chilled martini glass to remove seeds and ice shards.
  7. Garnish with fresh raspberries on a cocktail pick and a sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved dark chocolate. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh raspberries for best brightness; frozen can be used but thaw and strain excess liquid. Adjust simple syrup to taste to avoid overly sweet drinks. Chill the martini glass in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving for best presentation. Over-shaking can dilute flavors. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate liqueur or cocoa powder with almond milk.
