Anyone have Carnival's recipe for a chocolate martini? It was a "different" chocolate martini than I've had before. It definitely had gin in it (not vodka) and no creme de cocoa. The chocolate liquer was separated and at the bottom, gin at the top. It was very good. I'm not sure what else may have been in it. Vermouth, maybe?

I think it may depend on the Bartender, the Chocolatini that we always order has white rum, baileys & kahlua, sometimes they substatute the run for vanilla vodka.

we have also had it on another ship with raspberry liquor, white chocolate liquor & vodka, he then filled the shaker with whipped cream shook it up and pured it in the glass, it was the best chocolate raspberry martini i had ever had.

I'm sure other people will have more recipes from the Carnival bars also.

The one I had on the Miracle was similar to the one you're describing, cruisechik, with the dark chocolate separated and at the bottom of the glass. It wasn't made with gin, though. I hate gin, so I'm glad it wasn't! :eek: I don't know what was in it, but it was very tasty. :)

The martini I had was on the Celebration at the Trolley Bar. I've tried searching for recipes but they all have vodka instead of gin. Maybe I'll give the vodka a try, as well as the yummy recipes you all shared. Thank you.

 

Just subsitute the same amount of gin for the vodka but the secret is the Godiva! Have one for me!:D

When they set up a martini bar outside the casino on the Glory earlier this month, I happened to take a picture of the martini list. It tells you what is in each drink (but not how much). Chocolate is on there, as well as others...

I don't believe you'll ever find a chocolate martini made with gin. Cruisechik, you must be mistaken. Gin is just yuck and only really goes with tonic.

 

 

No, no mistake, it was definitely made with gin. It was listed as an ingredient on the table drink menu (a different menu than posted above); not only that, I know what gin tastes like. I just don't know the liquor proportions of this particular chocolate martini. The chocolate martini was quite good actually.

 

Again, thanks everyone for your input.

Continuation of last post:

 

My original post was wrong the chocolate martini did have creme de cacao. I thought that was a creamy liquer, akin to Bailey's, but apparently not, since my drink was clear on the top and dark on the bottom. If I use Godiva chocolate liquer is that the same as creme de cacao or something different?

 

Thanks.

I also know for a fact that I have had a chocolate martini made with gin, on my first cruise on the Ecstasy last year. I nearly spit it out. Chocolate martini + gin do not go together! I didn't read the drink menu closely enough. It wasn't the one that is pictured up above-it was the card stock folded one that has like a navy cover...

Does anyone know if a Chocolate Appletini is good? I asked a bartender to make it for me on my last cruise, and he said no because it wouldn't taste good :(

 

I'm don't think that I would like a chocolate appletini.

My favorite - drizzle chocolate syrup artistically in the glass :D , then in martini shaker mix ice, white chocolate and chocolate Godiva liqueurs, vanilla vodka and a splash of 1/2 and 1/2. Shake until nice and foamy, pour in glass and sprinkle with coco powder.

 

I make mine similar, but use a splash of Baileys instead of the 1/2 and 1/2.
