The Almond Joy Martini

We've discovered a new candy-like martini, that actually tastes good:


The Almond Joy Martini

1 oz. Coconut Flavored Rum
1 oz. Chocolate Flavored Liqueur*
1 oz. Hershey's Chocolate Syrup
1 oz. Vodka
2-4 oz. Cream, Half & Half, Milk (to taste)

Shake over ice and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a Cholive (if available, alternately, use shredded coconut)

We found the recipe by searching for 'booze drinks that taste like candy'. Don't you just love google?

Overall, the drink is sweet without being painfully sweet. Too often, the chocolate martini family stumbles into the genre of cocktails for people who don't really like cocktails. This one drinks a bit smoother and tastes a bit more like a true martini (particularly if you minimize the cream allotment)...



* Use Godiva or Creme de Cacao, or experiment with any sort of sweet liqueur like Frangelico or Kahlua
