Non-Alcoholic Chocolate Mocha Martini

You may already have the ingredients for this Non-Alcoholic Chocolate Mocha Martini in your pantry. This is a wonderful beverage that would satisfy the sweet craving of any chocoholic and is a luxurious way to cap off your Christmas feast or any other special occasion.

Ingredients

For the ganache:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 4 ounces good quality dark chocolate, 70% cacao, chopped

For the garnish:

• ¼ cup dark chocolate sauce
• Dark chocolate ganache from above
• Chocolate sprinkles
• Small scoop of coffee ice cream, optional

For the mocktail:

• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 7 tablespoons strong coffee, chilled
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon cocoa powder, sifted (optional)

Instructions

For the ganache:

1. Chop the chocolate finely using a big, sharp knife.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to boil. First, you’ll see steam, followed by tiny bubbles. Take off the heat right away, then add the chopped chocolate all at once. Blend thoroughly with a whisk.
3. Pour some ganache on a tiny plate to decorate the rim. Transfer the remaining portion into a basin to chill.

For the garnish:

1. Place some sprinkles onto a small plate.
2. First, dip the martini glass’s rim into the ganache, then spin it around in the sprinkles.
3. Put some sauce in the corner of a plastic sandwich bag. To create a tiny piping bag, twist the top and cut off the tip.
4. Squeeze the sauce into the martini glass from the bottom, then swirl it upward until it is ½ inch from the rim. Store the glass in the freezer until ready for serving.

For the mocktail:

1. After adding the sweetened condensed milk to the ganache bowl, thoroughly mix everything.
2. Whisk in the vanilla extract and coffee, then taste and adjust the flavors with additional vanilla or coffee if needed. Add the optional chocolate powder and whisk at this time.
3. To make the mixture easier to pour into the decorated martini glass, transfer the mixture into a 4-cup jug or a glass carafe with a spout. Get the glasses out of the freezer and fill them in.
4. Place a small scoop of coffee ice cream in the drink if preferred. Serve right away.

Chocolate Cherry Martini Mocktail

Have you tried chocolate-covered cherries in a box? Well, this Chocolate Cherry Martini Mocktail is a liquid version of that. Think of dark, deep chocolate, wild cherries, and creamy chilled whipped cream.

Ingredients

• 1-2 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix
• 6 ounces milk (2% or low-fat is fine)
• 10-12 frozen dark cherries
• 1 teaspoon of almond extract
• Hershey’s Dark Chocolate (for garnish)
• 2 teaspoons 100% unsweetened cocoa powder (for garnish)
• Whipped cream (you can use light whipped) (for garnish)
• Red sugar (optional)
• Maraschino cherries – long stems (optional)

Instructions

For the garnish:

1. Pour the dark chocolate into the glasses to create a lovely (and delicious) pattern. To set, place them in the freezer.
2. To prepare your beverage, use a fork to blend the red sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder on a flat dish. To add some moisture, run one of the softer black cherries over the rims of the glasses and then gently dip them into the chocolate-sugar mixture.
3. Re-chill the glasses in the refrigerator.

For the mocktail:

1. Blend 6 ounces of milk with 1 ½ tablespoons (or ½ – ⅔ packet) of cocoa mix. Try a ½ packet or 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons to control the sweetness, but that’s just my preference. Simmer and stir well. Put in the fridge to cool for thirty to sixty minutes.
2. Place ten to twelve frozen, pitted, unsweetened dark cherries in a blender and let them soften a little before mixing.
3. After the chocolate mixture has cooled, add the almond extract, two to three ice cubes, and the cherries to the blender. Blend for about a minute. (Tip: Don’t overdo it if you want to enjoy the little pulpy bits in the drink.) Simply add additional ice to your drink if you like it mushy.
4. Pour into your glass, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, and place a Maraschino cherry with a long stem at the top.
