Best Vodka For a Martini

If you are purchasing vodka for this recipe, we recommend Belvedere or Grey Goose for a top tier. Titos would be a good mid-level option.

Strain the cocktail into a prepared glass and top it with chocolate shavings. To make really beautiful curls, gently use a vegetable peeler on a long chocolate bar.
