Valentines Day is just around the corner and  whether you are planning a romantic evening or a celebration of your single life this is the perfect martini. Its a simple chocolate martini with a Valentines Day twist and trust me the sugared rim is not just for decoration, in fact I thought it was the best part. No matter how you choose to celebrate or not celebrate, please do indulge in this glass of chocolate heaven.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1 1/2 cups chocolate liqueur, Godiva
1 1/2 cups whole milk
12 maraschino cherries
2 tablespoons grated semi-sweet chocolate
Red Decorative Sugar

Directions:

Use your finger to coat the rim of the martini class with the chocolate syrup.

Sprinkle the red sugar on a plate and press the glass rim of the glass into the sugar, pressing to adhere.

Spoon 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup into each of the 6 martini glasses .

In a shaker or a small bowl mix together the Godiva liqueur and milk. Pour about 1/2 cup of the liqueur mixture into each glass.

Drop 2 maraschino cherries into each drink and top with grated chocolate.
