A silky, decadent dessert cocktail balancing Raspberry Cranberry Vodka, cocoa and espresso (or cold brew). Perfect after dinner or anytime you’re craving something indulgent.
Ingredients
-
1.5 oz Raspberry Cranberry Vodka
-
1 oz Cocoa syrup
-
2 oz Cold brew (concentrate) or espresso
-
Optional: 0.25 oz emulsifier or egg whites (for extra thickness and a richer dessert-martini texture)
Method
-
Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice.
-
Shake vigorously until deeply chilled.
-
Fine-strain into a coupe glass or tumbler.
-
Garnish with a raspberry on a pick and dark chocolate shavings.
Pro Tips
-
Extra silky version: Add 0.25 oz emulsifier, then double-strain for a velvety, mousse-like texture.
-
Cold brew: Use a dark roast with chocolate or berry notes to enhance both the cocoa and raspberry.
-
Cocoa syrup swap: If using chocolate sauce instead, reduce the amount slightly to maintain balance.
-
Rim option: Light cocoa powder or grated 70% dark chocolate works beautifully for a dessert presentation.
