Millie Pham

If you love rich, creamy chocolate cocktails, this Chocolate Bunny Martini is about to be your new favorite! It’s smooth, indulgent, and perfect for Easter, or any time you want a little chocolatey luxury.

Served in a chilled cocktail glass with a chocolate-drizzled rim, this drink is as fancy as it is delicious.

Let’s shake things up!

What You’ll Need

  • 2 oz chocolate liqueur (like Godiva or Mozart)
  • 1 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys)
  • 2 oz milk or half-and-half
  • ½ oz chocolate syrup (plus extra for the rim)
  • Ice cubes

For Garnish:

  • Chocolate syrup (for drizzling on the rim)
  • Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings
  • Small chocolate bunny (optional, for decoration)

Pro Tips

  1. Chill the glass! Pop your cocktail glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for an extra frosty effect.
  2. Use high-quality chocolate syrup. A rich, thick syrup will coat the rim better and make each sip extra chocolatey.
  3. Shake it well! The colder and frothier the martini, the better.
  4. Make it even fancier. Add a chocolate drizzle inside the glass before pouring for a swirled effect.
  5. No cocktail glass? Serve it in a coupe or martini glass for a similar elegant look!

Tools You’ll Need

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Cocktail glass
  • Small spoon (for drizzling chocolate syrup)
  • Strainer

Substitutions & Variations

  • Dairy-free option: Use oat milk or almond milk and dairy-free Irish cream.
  • Sweeter version: Add ½ oz caramel syrup for a caramel mocha twist.
  • Stronger version: Add an extra ½ oz vanilla vodka for more kick.
  • Iced version: Blend with ice for a frozen Chocolate Bunny Martini!
