Hot Chocolate Valentine image

If you're staying in on Valentine's Day, try this spicy chocolate cocktail. The mellow kick is from pepper vodka and a rim of hot Hungarian paprika - spicy pepper is a reputed aphrodisiac, as it contains capsaicin, a chemical that quickens the heart, and gives off a little heat.

Categories     cocktails

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon hot Hungarian paprika (see note)
2 1/2 ounces clear crème de cacao, plus about one ounce more for rimming the glasses
3 ounces dark crème de cacao or other dark chocolate liqueur, like Godiva
1 1/2 ounces chili-pepper-flavored vodka, like Absolut Peppar
1 ounce vanilla-flavored vodka

Steps:

  • Set out two martini glasses and two saucers wider than the glasses' rims. In one of the saucers, sprinkle the paprika in a rough circle approximately the diameter of the glasses' rims; in the other, put an ounce of the clear crème de cacao. Dip each glass rim in the liqueur, tap off the excess liquid, then dip in the paprika to coat.
  • Put remaining clear crème de cacao, dark crème de cacao and vodkas in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until condensation appears. Pour evenly between the two rimmed glasses.

This hot chocolate is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
