Preparation

Step 1

Begin by preparing your glass with a beautiful chocolate rim. Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of a martini glass, allowing it to settle and create a marbled effect. This adds not only flavor but also an elegant presentation.

Step 2

On a small plate, sprinkle toasted shredded coconut. Lightly moisten the rim of the glass with water or a bit of chocolate syrup, then press the rim into the coconut to coat. Set the prepared glass aside.

Step 3

In a cocktail shaker, combine the chocolate liqueur, coconut rum, almond liqueur, and heavy cream (or coconut milk). Add ice cubes to the shaker until it’s about halfway full, which will chill the ingredients quickly as you shake.

Step 4

Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This ensures the martini will be well-mixed and frothy.

Step 5

Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass, pouring carefully to preserve the chocolate swirl and coconut rim.

Step 6

Garnish your Almond Joy Martini with a sprinkle of toasted coconut and a few almond slices on top, or slide a few almonds onto a cocktail pick and place it on the rim for an added touch of sophistication.
