The chocolate martini is one of those drinks people love to order and hate to make. Too much effort, too many bottles, too much cleanup. On The Rocks solved that with its new limited-edition Chocolate Martini, and they brought in a real talent to do it: OTR global ambassador and celebrated bartender Joaquín Simó.
On The Rocks was founded by restaurateurs and bartenders who wanted bar-quality cocktails you could pour at home, made with real spirits. This one is built on EFFEN Vodka and milk chocolate liqueur, with a touch of vanilla, and it's dairy-free.
It pours a silky cocoa color with aromas of chocolate and sweet vanilla. The flavor balances milk and dark chocolate with a whisper of vanilla, finishing velvety smooth. It tastes like dessert, but it drinks like a proper cocktail.
The cold serve: chill the bottle, shake with ice, strain into a chilled martini glass or coupe, and finish with a shaved dark chocolate curl.
The cozy serve: warm it gently in 10-second bursts in the microwave (warm, never boiling), pour into a mug and top with whipped cream, toasted marshmallows and chocolate shavings. It's a grown-up hot cocoa for cold New Jersey nights.
Each 375 mL bottle holds two generous servings, which makes it the perfect date-night dessert, holiday hostess gift or stocking stuffer. It's a limited edition, so grab it while it's here.
