Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini Ingredients
- Cherry Flavored Vodka: This is a nice way to add the cherry flavor, without watering down your martini.
- Creme de Cocoa: A sweet chocolate flavored liqueur that you can find in a number of different brands. I like to go with a clear version to keep that beautiful pink color.
- Heavy Cream: This gives you the creamy delicious consistency that you want.
- Grenadine: This will enhance the cherry flavor and bring in the beautiful pink color.
How to Make Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini
This is a brief overview of how to make this delicious cocktail. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Prepare your glasses. Drizzle chocolate syrup into the martini glass. Put the glass in the freezer to let it set.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. I like using a metal shaker because you know your martini will be ice cold once you start feeling that shaker get cold.
- Finish off the cocktail. Add all of the ingredients to the shaker. Shake vigorously to combine. Strain the drink into the prepared martini glass.
Serving
As mentioned above, I like to line the martini glasses with a drizzle of chocolate sauce first. You can certainly do that with the traditional bottle that you top with your ice cream sundaes. I also like this syrup because the drizzle is so fine and it can really make those perfect lines.
I also love serving these with a few maraschino cherries on the edge of the glass as you see here.

What a special treat! Looks heavenly. Thank you for the recipe.
Also, your martini shaker is so unique. Can you tell me where I
can purchase one?
I can’t, unfortunately! The top part was a gift and then I just attached it to a mason jar I had.

Can you freeze these in batches?
Hi Amy, I haven’t tried freezing these, so I’m not sure how it would go.

I made this last night after a long day at work and helping my grown children figure out life. It was sooooo good!
Just entering the grown child phase of life and I felt “helping figure out life” in my bones, lol! I am so glad you liked it!
