Rich, velvety, and indulgent, this Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini is dessert-in-a-glass. Vodka, crème de cacao and chocolate liqueur are softened by a splash of milk and given a cherry brightness by our Rustic Oak Sour Cherry Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer. Finished in a chocolate dipped glass with grated chocolate and glossy chocolate-covered cherries, it’s deceptively powerful and equally irresistible. Delicious on its own, extra special with a few dashes of Rustic Oak’s Mocha Bitters to add depth and balance.
