This cocktail is basically a drinkable boozy version of a chocolate-covered strawberry. It is made with a simple homemade strawberry sauce that pairs so well with the chocolate liqueur. Garnish the glass with a chocolate-covered strawberry to make the perfect cocktail for Valentine's Day.
• 1/2 cup frozen sliced strawberries, see notes below for using fresh strawberries
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 ounce strawberry vodka
• 1 ounce cream liqueur
• 1 ounce chocolate liqueur
• Garnish: chocolate-covered strawberry, optional
➊ Defrost the frozen sliced strawberries by letting them sit out for about 45 minutes or microwaving them 90 seconds on 30% power.
➋ Force the thawed strawberries through a sieve into a bowl. Get as much juice as possible out of them! Whisk in the sugar until well combined. Then whisk in the strawberry vodka.
➌ Pour the cream liqueur and chocolate liqueur into a shaker with a couple of ice cubes. Pour in the strawberry sauce/vodka mixture. Give the shaker a few good shakes for about 10 seconds or until chilled.
➍ Strain the cocktail into a martini glass and garnish with a chocolate-covered strawberry or plain strawberry. Cheers!
