Frozen Hot Chocolate Martini
Every New Year’s Eve party needs a fun cocktail to help guests remember the celebration! For this upcoming New Year’s Eve, I have the perfect drink! It’s a festive take on a martini cocktail recipe, and it only uses three ingredients if you don’t count the ice. This frozen hot chocolate martini recipe makes a sweet and creamy cocktail that’s not too boozy.
You can even skip the alcohol and make a fun frappe-style chocolate mocktail for kiddos and grown ups who have gone alcohol-free! Either way, I recommend serving this one with whipped cream and chocolate curls. Before you get started, make sure you have some of my homemade hot chocolate mix on hand!
Make your chocolate martini beautiful with some super-easy homemade chocolate curls!
The best thing about this cocktail is that you can add some simple garnishes like whipped cream and chocolate curls to effortlessly elevate it to a whole new level. If you’re making the mocktail version, your guests will feel super fancy when they receive a truly gorgeous drink. And that’s not even getting into how good it tastes! Chocolate curls might look complex but they are actually quite easy to make. You can follow along with my chocolate curls recipe here. If you like these chocolate curls as a garnish, you should check them out in my new cookbook, My Life in Pies: Sweet and Savory Recipes Inspired by Family and Friends. They’re great on so many different recipes!
Make a big batch of hot chocolate mix to batch this cocktail—or to share with friends.
Every time I make my homemade hot chocolate mix, I make a large batch because I love giving it away for the holidays. It’s a simple gift that my friends and family always appreciate, especially when I throw in some homemade marshmallows too! Make sure to grab my homemade hot chocolate mix recipe before you get started on this drink—I talk more about turning it into a holiday gift in that article. Cheers!
