Place the chocolate in a medium sized bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water on medium-low heat. Heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Remove from the heat and pour into the glass jar.

Step 2: Add the Vodka

Pour the vodka into the glass jar and add any additions, if using. Stir with a butter knife to just combine the melted chocolate with the liquid.
