How to Make Creamy Chocolate Martini

- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 TBS vanilla

- Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- For an extra chill, freeze for 30 minutes before serving.
- When ready to enjoy, shave chocolate for rimming the glass or topping the martini.
- Shake the mixture well and pour directly into glasses. You can use a cocktail shaker with ice if preferred.
- The mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
