White Chocolate Martini

Our white chocolate martini is a delightful concoction that marries potency with pleasure. This tasty yet understated cocktail is the epitome of holiday elegance, promising to enchant your palate with its creamy and irresistible charm.

This is the type of cocktail that is perfect for sipping. My grandmother used to call just about every cocktail ‘potent,’ but this one truly is.

The reason? It’s made of pure alcohol!

Serve it at your next party and enjoy the looks on your guests’ faces when they see the dribbles of dark chocolate sauce contrasted with the milky white liquid. This cocktail is a beauty!

And it tastes just as good as it looks.

What is RumChata?

RumChata is a cream liqueur that is a staple in many iconic cocktails. Originating from the Caribbean, it combines the smoothness of premium five-times distilled Caribbean rum with the richness of dairy cream and a unique blend of sweet cinnamon, vanilla, and other secret spices. 

Its distinctive flavor profile and velvety texture make it an invaluable addition to a wide array of cocktails, adding a touch of sophistication and a hint of exotic appeal. Whether used as the main ingredient or to add complexity, RumChata enhances the overall drinking experience, making it a beloved choice among cocktail enthusiasts.

Substitutions and Additions

• RumChata: If you cannot find RumChata, you could substitute Irish cream liqueur like Baileys. However, this may slightly alter the flavor profile.
• Godiva white chocolate liqueur: Another white chocolate liqueur is a good substitute if you can’t find this brand of white chocolate liqueur. 

Additions: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can give this great drink a warm, spiced undertone. A garnish of whipped cream with white chocolate shavings (or dark chocolate shavings if you prefer) on top can add a delightful extra creaminess to the cocktail.

Helpful tips

• I used a squeeze-bottle chocolate sauce I bought from Whole Foods but if you have a jar of sauce, use a spoon to dribble the chocolate down the inside of the glasses.
• You can garnish the glasses before you start mixing the cocktail, but I prefer to garnish after the drink is mixed and immediately before I pour it into the glasses. There is less dripping that way.
• Shaking the cocktail briskly is the best way to ensure all the ingredients are well-mixed and chilled. Shake it for at least 10 seconds for the best result.
• If you plan a cocktail party, mix the cocktail (without ice cubes) hours ahead and refrigerate it. This allows the flavors to meld together. Just before your guests arrive, shake it with ice and serve.
• Try dusting the rim of the glasses with some cocoa powder or finely ground chocolate for an elevated presentation and additional chocolatey flavor.
• Be careful about the chocolate sauce you choose. Opt for a smooth and rich but not overly sweet, as it can overpower the other flavors.
