Chocolate Margarita Recipe for QSP: Ideas & Tips

[bridgetbakes]

Does anyone have a chocolate margarita recipe for the QSP? I thought I read one on here a while back but can't seem to find it.

I have a host who wants an An Evening of Chocolate show and would love something like this!

You might have better luck with Chocolate Martinis.

Chocolate Martini maybe? A chocolate margarita would be NASTY!!

Ingredients
1 1/2 shots chocolate liqueur
1 1/2 shots creme de cacao
1/2 shot vodka
2 1/2 shots half-and-half

Directions
Mix all ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake and pour into a chilled ****tail glass.


Of course, mix this in the QSP rather than a shaker.

You can also do super-easy 2 ingredient chocolate martinis:
1 part vanilla vodka
1 part clear cream de cacao
Combine; serve chilled.Careful - they look like water, but pack quite a punch!

Dove Chocolate also makes a chocolate martini mix. Mix it with Vodka and you have a martini. I even tried raspberry vodka, but I think we went a little heavy on the vodka, because the alcohol taste was too strong for me. But I bet, with the correct ratio, they would be AWESOME!

Does anyone have a non-alcoholic version?

Is that even legal?? NON - alcholic martinis??? LOL!!!

i think the non-alcoholic version would be... a fancy chocolate milk! You can get really yummy godiva chocolate syrups from a gourmet store, mix some of that with half-and-half or maybe just plain milk may be better-- and shake it in ice, strain it into the martini glass and squirt on some whipped cream and use the Microplane Grater to grate some dark chocolate shaving over the top... That's the best I can come up with for the virgin chocolate martini!

I know...but living in the middle of nowhere with very few streetlights & lots of critters (deer, raccoons, possum, etc) to run out in front of you...I just thought it would be best if my guests didn't have any alcohol.

I found this through google.

The Chocolate Martini
Try a chocolate martini -- it's a wonderful experience!
Have you ever had a chocolate martini? If you love ****tails -- and you love chocolate -- a chocolate martini is a must-try experience.

What follows is the recipe for an even more unusual treat: a 'virgin' chocolate martini.

There are two schools of thought about making or drinking a chocolate martini. The first one suggests that a chocolate martini is not a 'serious' drink, that it is strictly for fun, and that a chocolate martini is a concoction specially blended for light-hearted parties and informal socializing among friends.

The other school is that having a martini is not just having a drink, it's having an experience. This school holds that imbibing in a chocolate martini is something much bigger than just the list of ingredients. : )

No matter what you believe, a virgin chocolate martini is every bit as tasty as an alcohol-laced one, and can be enjoyed either informally among friends, or with the classiest, most discerning of martini connoisseurs at the most formal gatherings.

Note that you can use any of your favorite dark, milk, or semisweet chocolate choices with excellent taste results. Test them, and then you can decide your personal preference. : )

The first thing you need to do is line the rim of the martini glass with any of these 3 choices:

1. sugared cocoa powder
2. chocolate syrup
3. either of the above with grated chocolate slivers mixed in.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

The next thing you need to do is place a 'Hershey's Kiss' chocolate in the bottom of the glass.

Finally, here are a few recipes to try:

2 ounces of melted chocolate (or chocolate sauce)
1-1/2 ounces non-alcoholic champagne or sparkling apple juice
1 ounce 'Half-and-Half' cream

or...

1-1/2 ounces of chocolate syrup or melted chocolate
2 ounces of coconut cream
1 ounce of 'Sprite' or other 'fizzing' soda pop

Mix all the virgin chocolate martini ingredients in a ****tail shaker with ice, shake and then strain or pour into the chilled ****tail glass.

Some chocolate martini variations include: adding a 1/4 tsp of vanilla or of other 'flavors' such as orange concentrate or almond extract.

Enjoy your virgin chocolate martini!
