How can the On The Rocks Chocolate Martini be enjoyed?The versatile On The Rocks Chocolate Martini can be served two ways to suit any seasonal gathering:

  • Cold Serve (Primary)

Refrigerate your bottle of Chocolate Martini and chill your martini glass.

Add cocktail to the shaker.

Garnish with a shaved dark chocolate curl.

This serve is best enjoyed well chilled for a smooth, rich and refreshing experience.

  • Hot Serve

Start with a room-temperature Chocolate Martini.

Warm the mug.

Heat the Chocolate Martini gently. In a microwave-safe container, heat for about 10 seconds, then check the temperature. Repeat in 10-second pulses only until it is reasonably warm, not boiling.

This serve is best enjoyed immediately while the drink is still warm.

What does expert mixologist and On The Rocks Global Brand Ambassador, Joaquín Simó, have to say about this release?

  • "In order to create a bar-quality cocktail experience in a bottle, balance always comes first," said On The Rocks Global Brand Ambassador and expert mixologist, Joaquín Simó. "Chocolate can be a tricky flavor to balance in a cocktail because it can easily overpower other ingredients. With the smooth character of EFFEN® Vodka as our base, we found the right balance of decadent milk chocolate and rich dark cocoa notes to create indulgently layered aromas and flavors."
