Thanksgiving has come and gone, December has arrived, and the new year is officially on its way!  I’m sharing the most delicious chocolate cocktail, if you’re looking for a sweeter alternative to the winter chill cocktail! My mom and I may (or may not) have perfected the recipe Thanksgiving night (and finished off a bottle of Godiva chocolate liqueur in the process).  This delicious dessert is the perfect after-dinner cocktail and is sure to get you (and your guests) in the holiday spirit.  It is super easy to make, presents beautifully, and has something that everyone will enjoy!

Looking for a perfect dessert cocktail that presents beautifully? Try this delicious chocolate cocktail with Godiva liqueur, vanilla vodka, and Bailey's!
I don’t need martini glasses – my Snowflake wishes flutes go with everything!

Godiva and Bailey’s Chocolate Cocktail

Serving Size:
7oz
Time:
20 minutes
Difficulty:
Easy

Ingredients

  • 3oz – Godiva Chocolate Liqueur (I prefer the milk chocolate variety)
  • 2oz – Vanilla Vodka (I use Smirnoff but you could use your favorite brand of flavored vodka.)
  • 2oz – Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • Ice
  • Chocolate Syrup / Chocolate Sauce (I think a thicker sauce works better for decorating a glass, but if you have chocolate syrup on hand, use that!)

Directions

  1. Decorate cocktail glasses with chocolate syrup. I found the easiest way to do this was to use a small ziplock bag, cut the corner off and use it the way you would use a piping bag. Put glasses in the freezer to set the chocolate while you make the cocktail.
  2. Fill cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add Godiva, vanilla vodka, and Baileys. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
  3. Strain and pour into chilled glass.

Non-Alcoholic Godiva Chocolate Beverage Option

For those of you who might want a more kid-friendly beverage option to add to your holiday party, I’m going to do a little #TBT and remind you about the hot chocolate reindeer that I made with kids during our holiday Mom’s Night Out at Jubilee Park and Community Center two years ago as part of my JLD placement!

You can make your own hot chocolate mix, or you can use your favorite pre-made hot chocolate blend. (Godiva has one!)  You just need some marshmallows and basic graft supplies to finish off these adorable hot chocolate reindeer!  If you want to offer them as a party favor, you could include a mini bottle of Bailey’s!       

Sara loves to help people use their vacation time more effectively by planning beautiful, memorable, and delicious trips. She spends several weeks every year exploring Italy and central Europe. In addition to her full-time job, she is constantly searching for beautiful places and spaces. She loves the direct flights between Dallas and Italy, France, and Germany but is always up for wherever a great deal on an airline ticket will take her. (Sara also really loves European Christmas markets and tries to visit at least one new one every holiday season.)
