It has been awhile since I posted yet another martini recipe, but seeing as this is the Wine Festival week here in the Okanagan (and we were at a Chef Cooking Class Dinner last night) and are attending a Crush Club luncheon today, a martini would be a break in the wine (or is that whine) run we are having.
- 6 parts Grey Goose Vodka
- 1 part Cinnamon Schnapps
- 1 part Creme de Framboise or Chambord
- Dark chocolate shavings
Pour all the ingredients (except shavings) into a shaker filled with crushed ice. Shake well and strain into well chilled martini glasses, and top with the chocolate shavings.
Now, isn’t that a great way to greet guests? Hon….are we expecting company?

This is an extra touch for any dinner party. Everyone knows chocolate and martinis go well together. Try it and you will see.
- 1 1/2 lb good quality white chocolate
- 1/4 cup vanilla vodka
- 3 oz. good quality dark chocolate’
- 2-3 tbsp. whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Preparation:
Melt white chocolate and vodka in a metal bowl over a saucepan of hot, simmering water. Watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn. Pour onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and add the cinnamon. Drizzle over the mixture, swirling the chocolate mixture with a knife. Refrigerate until set and break into pieces.
Set out in a pretty bowl at your next gathering. Goes with your drinks.
