Chocolate and Irish Cream. They go together like PB & J, Ross and Rachel, a wink and a smile…  My point is, certain combinations just work. And the flavors in this smooth, chocolatey Baileys Martini recipe complement each other in such a beautiful, we’re-just-meant-to-be kinda way.

Baileys is one of those fan favorite liqueurs that blends deliciously in anything from coffee to dessert. The popular Irish cream can add such a rich and creamy texture to even your most boring cup of coffee. Try this Salted Caramel Irish Coffee and you’ll totally see what I mean.

I never met an Irish cream recipe I didn’t love, but one of my very favorite Baileys combinations is with chocolate. Serve up a slice of this Baileys Poke Cake at your next backyard picnic. And if you love this chocolate martini recipe, try my Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini next time you’re craving a dessert in a glass.

WHAT GOES IN A BAILEYS IRISH CREAM MARTINI?

  •  Baileys Irish Cream (of course). There are other brands out there, but Baileys is a tried and true classic.
  • A couple ounces of vodka
  • A couple more ounces of creme de cocoa
  • Chocolate sauce, whipped cream and some yummy shaved chocolate for garnish

HOW DO YOU MAKE A BAILEYS MARTINI?

  • In two coupe glasses, carefully drizzle chocolate sauce around the inside.
  • Combine four ounces of Baileys Irish Cream, two ounces vodka and two ounces creme de cocoa in a martini shaker and, you know, shake.
  • Pour into your two chocolatey lined coupe glasses.
  • Top with whipped cream and some gorgeous chocolate shavings and cheers!

Chocolate shavings are simple to make. Use a veggie peeler and gently run across a long chocolate bar. It’ll fancy up any dessert, cocktail, Thursday night, you name it.
