For the February issue of The Morning Star’s newsletter, I wanted to create a Valentine’s recipe that would be both easy and fun. With the recent popularity of Chocolate Martini’s, I decide to create my own version of this dessert cocktail – an enjoyable little project if I do say so! This is what I came up with …
Cupid’s Arrow
– makes 2 strong cocktails –
3 oz. Chocolate Vodka (I use Cupcake Devil’s Food Vodka)
2 oz. Raspberry Liqueur (I use Pallini Raspicello)
2 oz. Chocolate Liqueur (I use Meletti Cioccolato)
Half-and-half
Dark chocolate
Fresh raspberries
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka and liqueurs. Shake well. Strain into two chilled martini glasses. Drizzle a little half-and-half over the top of each. (It will sink to the bottom then raise to the top, creating a marbleized effect.) Shave a little chocolate over the top of each cocktail then garnish with fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
Tips: Chill glasses in freezer for ten minutes before serving. Use chilled ingredients. The drink should be served very cold, but you do not want it diluted by melting ice.

Sounds delicious – love the presentation it makes.
Thanks, Mary! It is a very fun cocktail for Valentine’s Day. I hope that you are having a great day!
Being that it’s 70 degrees out is a wonderful thing too – yes it been a lovely day.
Reblogged this on Morning Star Weddings.
Never got into martinis or mixed drinks. Sangria is about as fruity as I go. Enjoy Valentine’s Day.

The only real connection that this has to a martini is the glass : )
Happy Valentine’s Day to you as well.

This looks wonderful — love the chocolate and raspberry combination! And it apparently must be a day for cocktails since I posted one today too, lol.

Thank you, Kenley. I saw your post and agree that grapefruit margaritas are a fun twist on the traditional lime cocktail.
