Sometimes I need my coffee with a little kick!
This Caramel Macchiato Chocolate Martini recipe is great for those times when you need a caffeine pick-me-up and some soul-soothing chocolate.
Go ahead — take a moment. Kick your feet up, and take 10.
I don’t know about you, but by the time cocktail hour rolls around, I’m in no mood to get dressed up to hit the town.
That’s why I created this make-at-home version of a chocolate martini to sip and savor.
It’s dessert in a glass, and it couldn’t be easier to make using International Delight Iced Coffee and a few spirits from the bar cart. If you’re feeling extra decadent, dust the rim of the glass with shaved chocolate and add a dollop of whipped cream (and more chocolate sprinkles) to the top.
I made mine with International Delight Caramel Macchiato iced coffee, but you can use any of their creamy, iced coffee flavors. I can’t wait to try a mocha or vanilla version!
