Ingredients
- 1/2 cup green colored sugar crystals for garnish, optional
- 16 ounces half and half or heavy cream
- 10 ounces Andes Creme de Menthe baking chips or mint chocolate chips
- 6 ounces vodka 2 shots
- 4 cups ice or as needed
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup for garnish, optional
- 1/2 cup whipped topping for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Optional: Rim the martini glasses with colored sugar. Pour the sugar onto a saucer. Dip the glasses in water, then in the sugar, and lift off. Allow to stand several moments to set the sugar.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the half and half over medium heat until it almost reaches a simmer. Small bubbles will appear around the edges, but there should be no bubbling action. Remove from heat.
- Add in the mint chocolate chips and stir until fully melted.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator until fully cooled.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine 1/4 of the chocolate mixture, 1.5 ounces of vodka and ice to fill. Shake to mix the drink; pour into a martini glass.
- Repeat the process three more times, creating a total of four martinis.
- Garnish with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a dollop of whipped topping.
Notes
Nutritional information includes whipped topping and chocolate syrup, but not the sugar used in rimming the glasses.
