Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa power
  • 1/2 ounce 60% dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/8 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 ounces vodka (I like using vanilla vodka but regular is fine)
  • 1 and 1/2 ounces dark creme de cocoa
  • 1 and 1/2 ounces half and half

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the water, cocoa powder, chocolate, and both sugars. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
  2. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and let cool. You can store this in the fridge for up to a week!
  3. When ready, fill a cocktail shaker full of ice. Pour in the vodka, creme de cocoa, half and half, and 2 ounces of the chocolate syrup.
  4. Shake vigorously, then strain into a cocktail glass! Doll it up with shaved chocolate curls and a mint sprig, and drink right away!
