Chocolate and the martini—are there two greater temptations? We didn’t think so… until we tried them together. This sweet version of the classic cocktail is exquisite.

Serves 4

Chocolate Rim:
Godiva liqueur
Shaved milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate

For Martinis:
8 ounces (1 cup) Godiva liqueur
4 ounces (½ cup) vodka
½ cup half-and-half

Dip the edges of 4 martini glasses in liqueur and rim them with chocolate.

In a small saucepan, combine the liqueur, vodka, and half-and-half. Heat over medium to medium-high heat until warm but not hot. Pour into the rimmed martini glasses and serve.
