Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 ounce Green Creme de Menthe
• 1 1/2 ounce White Creme de Cacao
• 1 1/2 ounce Peppermint Schnapps
• Cocktail shaker
• Ice
• Strainer
• Martini glass

1. Combine Green Creme de Menthe, White Creme de Cacao, and Peppermint Schnapps with ice in a cocktail shaker. You should have enough ice so that your mint chocolate martini is thoroughly chilled, about a cup or so of ice will do. Using Green Creme de Menthe will give your martini a nice green color, and the white Creme de Cacao will not affect that.

2. Cover the cocktail shaker, and shake your mint chocolate martini vigorously for about fifteen seconds to properly mix your ingredients and thoroughly chill your martini. The best way to shake a cocktail shaker is to cover it, hold it over your shoulder, and shake toward your belly back to your shoulder several times.

3. Remove the cover of the cocktail shaker, and place the strainer over the top. Slowly pour your drink into martini glasses, ensuring no ice slips through the strainer. You may garnish your mint chocolate martini with chocolate shavings, or serve plain. This martini recipe serves one drink. You can easily double or triple the ingredients to make more.
