Better Than Egg Nog!!!

Look what I found today!!!!
Actually, I have to back up a bit. I love Miss Doxie, and if you haven’t checked out her site, you should. When I find a good site, I like to read the bio of the person, and hers says something to the effect of:
I have a very cute boyfriend named El Dukay. Dukay is funny and strong and extremely tall. He is also younger than I am, which means that he is always telling people that he is my boy toy. On New Year’s Eve 2006, Dukay and I will have been dating for four years. Sometimes I want to stab him in the eyes, but I love the spit out of him anyway. Also, I have to keep him around, because he is the only one who knows how to make the chocolate martinis turn out correctly. That is enough for me.
And I was intrigued. Chocolate martinis? There is such a thing? I mean, I do like my Pomegranate Martinis, but chocolate? and vodka? Sign me up for that!
So I went on a quest. The quest was long because this was the first recipe I came across:
Godiva Chocolate Martini
1 1/2 shots Godiva chocolate liqueur
1 1/2 shots creme de cacao
1/2 shot vodka
2 1/2 shots half and half
Until now, I had no idea how difficult it was to find Godiva chocolate liqueur. All of the liquor stores we’re out, but my favorite (because it has a DRIVE THRU!!!!) has this. And folks? This is wonderful. Miss Doxie totally has the right idea. I’m on my third one right now, and this is definitely a wonderful way to spend an evening.
One caveat. USE GOOD VODKA. Like this one, this one, this one, or this one; just to name a few. For one batch I used Gordon’s Vodka, and while I’m sure it makes a great screwdriver, it wasn’t so great for a chocolate martini. Think smooooth.
Here’s mud in your eye! (Who came up with that and what the heck does it mean anyway?)
