2 to 2 ½ ounces, Stoli Vanil (vanilla infused vodka, made by Stolichnaya)
2 teaspoons (or to taste) Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur
3-4 ice cubes – cracked
chocolate shavings or curls for garnish (shave the edge a chocolate bar using a vegetable peeler)
In a pitcher or cocktail shaker, measure the vodka and chocolate liqueur. Add the cracked ice and shake vigorously or stir energetically. Strain into (preferably chilled) martini glass. Add a few curls of chocolate.
[NOTE: an easy way to mix this for a group, is to measure the vodka into a martini glass – pour one glassful for each serving over cracked ice in a pitcher or cocktail shaker, then add the desired amount of chocolate liqueur, shake or stir – then strain into individual glasses, garnish and serve.]
