Great Movements with Chocolate

Chocolate Martini

Ingredients: (Serves 2)

3 ounces vodka plus 1 tablespoon vodka or vanilla vodka
1 teaspoon of cacao nibs, finely ground
1 teaspoon turbinado sugar
1 1/2 ounces clear crème de cacao
Directions:

Use a spice or coffee grinder to grind the cocoa nibs. You will have some of the nib and sugar mixture leftover. Try sprinkling it on ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Pour 1 tablespoon vodka onto a small plate or saucer. Stir together the nibs and sugar on another small plate. Dip 2 martini glasses in the vodka to coat the rims and then dip the rims into the nib mixture.

Stir together the remaining 3 ounces vodka and the crème de cacao with ice in a cocktail shaker until cold. Strain into the martini glasses. Serve immediately.
