creme de cacao

Twisting the classic mint julep idea just a bit, this variation substitutes crème de cacao for the sugar, adding a chocolate flavor that pairs well with both bourbon and mint.

Chocolate Mint Julep Cocktail Recipe

mint leaves, mint

(60 milliliters) bourbon or rye whiskey (see note)

In a julep cup or large rocks glass, gently muddle mint leaves until lightly bruised, then swab the glass's sides with the mint's aromatic oils. Add crème de cacao and bourbon or rye and stir well. Half-fill glass with crushed ice and stir to combine. Fill glass completely with crushed ice and stir until outside of glass frosts. Add more crushed ice, heaping generously, then garnish with sprigs of fresh mint. Serve, adding a short straw if desired so that the fragrance of the mint bouquet will greet the drinker with each sip.

It only takes three ingredients to make this Baileys Grasshopper which is light and refreshing.

Read some reviews and threw the candy in the vodka last night. Took it out, and it looked like only the shell melted off. SO, when my wife was baking bread, I put the vodka/candy on the stove where it got warm and melty. We used dark chocolate liquor, and the chocolate PB martini that resulted was to DIE for. To be clear, there was no straining, we shook it all up into the vodka when it had melted. Highly highly recommend!  We drank all the vodka, and since you just have to warm it, made a second batch and drank that whole thing too!!! Give it a try!

This was really disappointing. I followed this recipe to a "T" but there was very little peanut butter flavor at all in the infused vodka. This recipe tasted nothing like the delicious chocolate peanut butter martini I recently had in a bar..

I put the vodka, reeses pieces, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a mixer and shook them. It was a Big improvement!

Prep time 5 minutes? Total time 10 minutes?  

You left out the whole "refrigerate overnight" part! 

It was good but not great, not peanut buttery enough for me.

Brilliant, create a drink that looks like it’s for kids or non-drinkers, but it’s loaded with alcohol, and tons of calories.

Reese's Lovers, Prepare to FREAK OUT Over This Cocktail

Delicately sweet with a hint of bitterness, a homemade chocolate liqueur made with cacao nibs is like an expensive dark chocolate bar in your drink instead of like a jigger of Nestle Quik.

Combine the cacao nibs and vodka in a sealable glass jar. Shake and then let steep for 8 days.

After the initial steeping period, bring the sugar and water to a boil. Let this syrup cool, then add to the jar along with the vanilla extract. Let steep for an additional day.

Strain out the nibs through a sieve and then filter through a coffee filter into the bottle or jar you'll use for storage.
