The Chocolate Mint

Co-owners Chelynn & Tom Sheehan, Malt on Broadway, Newport
If you’re hosting a dinner party, chances are guests are expecting dessert. It will be a pleasant surprise when it arrives icy cold and in a glass.
Servings 1 Cocktail

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ounce vanilla vodka
  • 1 ounce Godiva white chocolate liqueur
  • 1 ounce Dorda Belgian chocolate liqueur
  • 1 ounce Malt’s Irish Cream*
  • 2 dashes mint bitters (or a splash of white crème de menthe)
  • Chocolate syrup for garnish
  • Fresh mint for garnish

*Malt’s Irish Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1⅔ cups Irish whiskey
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a bar tin, combine vodka, both liqueurs, Irish cream and bitters. Add ice, shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Drizzle the top with chocolate syrup (a squeeze bottle with a narrow tip helps for this) and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
    *Malt’s Irish Cream
    In a large Mason jar, combine ingredients, cover tightly with lid and shake to combine. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
