1

Prepare the Espresso Martini

Brew a shot of espresso or make a strong cup of coffee. Allow it to cool completely. In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 ½ ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of coffee liqueur, ½ ounce of simple syrup, and the cooled espresso. Add a handful of ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, combine 6 ounces of dark chocolate (chopped) and ¼ cup of heavy cream. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir the chocolate and cream until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip!
