Ingredients

Here’s what you need. Find the full recipe in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Vodka – 1 oz/ 30ml. Unflavored vodka. The quality of vodka isn’t too important as it’s being infused, but try to choose at least a middle-shelf variety.
Crème de menthe – 1 oz/ 30ml. This provides the distinct color and peppermint taste. You could also use a white Crème de menthe.
Crème de cacao – 1 oz/ 30ml. This provides the chocolate flavor.
Milk, half and half—1 1/2 oz / 45 ml. To give the drink extra richness, use half and half (half milk, half cream).
Chocolate Sauce – 1 Tbsp. An optional addition is to give the glass a chocolate rim.
Mint leaf. An optional garnish
Ice: To chill the cocktail in cocktail shaker.

Method

Add chocolate sauce on a small plate. Then, take your martini glass upside down and twist over the sauce to create a rim of chocolate on the glass.
