A recent invention in comparison to other martinis, it was created by none other than the legendary film stars of Hollywood, Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor, when they happened to come together during the making of the film “Giant” in Marfa, Texas. Both were great friends and lovers of chocolate drinks and martinis. Incidentally, one evening, they created the chocolate martini by mixing chocolate syrup and chocolate liqueur with a vodka martini. The incredibly tasty drink attained high popularity in America. The Chocolate Martini (Chocolatini) is a classic American cocktail, which is fondly consumed as a dessert drink. This mixed drink, essentially, comprises a non-alcoholic chocolate beverage which is mixed with alcoholic beverage(s). The non-alcoholic chocolate beverage may be chocolate syrup or chocolate milk, which is mixed with alcoholic beverages, such as chocolate vodka, chocolate liqueur (often crème de cacao) or simply vodka. A quick version of the drink can be fixed using chocolate martini mix (a ready-to-use mixture of the essential ingredients of this martini).
