- 2 ounces Bailey's Irish Cream or Godiva dark chocolate liqueur
- hollow chocolate Easter bunny
- drizzle chocolate syrup
- dash vanilla extract

Instructions
Garnished Martini Glasses
- On a plate, use a grater and make shaved chocolate. Place a dollop of marshmallow cream on the plate, dip the martini glass rim into the marshmallow then into the shaved chocolate.
- Set glasses aside, or place them in the refrigerator so you will have chilled martini glasses.
Easter Bunny Drinks
- Unwrap the foil off your bunnies. You can cut off a bit of the bunny ear to pour the cocktail inside or make a hole for the straw. Use either a large metal drinking straw or the end of a metal decorating piping tip. Carefully, heat it up for about 15 seconds with a lighter, then press onto the bunny and turn around to score a little hole.
- To serve in chocolate bunnies; once your cocktail is mixed use a small funnel to pour the martini cocktail inside, add a colorful bright straw, and serve.
- For martini glasses; add some grated chocolate shavings, and a swirl of syrup, and float a mini candy bunny on top of the martini glasses.
Mixing Martinis
- In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes. Pour in one ounce of vodka, two ounces of dark creme de cacao, and two ounces of Baileys Irish cream. Then add a dash of vanilla extract and a drizzle of syrup. Add the shaker top and give it a good shake.
- Pour into garnished martini glasses or candy Easter bunnies, using a small funnel.

Notes
White Chocolate Martini: Use the clear white creme de cacao (white chocolate liqueur) in place of the dark one, for a light color white chocolate twist on your martini. Garnish with white chocolate shavings on the rim.
Super Chocolaty Martini: Add an additional ounce chocolate liqueur. There are several brands on the market, and Godiva is a well-known one. And add a big swirl of syrup!
Vanilla Vodka: Try vanilla vodka in place of plain vodka. Or try caramel vodka, that would be so good. You can also add hints of vanilla, with vanilla extract.
Kahlua Coffee: Creamy coffee liqueurs like Kahlua add both rum and coffee flavor to your dessert martinis.
Chocolate Peppermint Martini: For the holidays, add peppermint vodka and some peppermint cream liqueur aka peppermint bark liquor.
Godiva Chocolate Martinis: Godiva chocolate liqueur drinks are a specialty spirit available in most liquor stores, but it can be hard to find. It is a classic, popular ingredient with professional bartenders and will satisfy your sweet tooth in a perfect Godiva chocolate martini.
