We all have those moments where we want to hide under the comforter. Those times when your life feels like a badly written melodrama. Evil bosses, erratic boyfriends or scissor-happy hairdressers can all send us over the edge. The only thing that can quell my homicidal impulses at times like these and sandblast me out of bed is a double serving of something sweet, sticky, and sinful; my own favorite tipple for trying times is a monster-sized Devil Food’s Cake Martini. When the going gets tough, the tough get blending. Serve with a generous slice of Devil Cake for the ultimate in chocolate therapy and a spine-chilling Alfred Hitchcock movie. It will satisfy the devil in you.
- 2 oz Chocolate vodka
- ½ oz Frangelico
- 1 oz Tia Maria
- 1 tsp Cocoa powder
- 2 tsp Sugar
- Dark Chocolate shavings
Chill your glass in the freezer. Mix the sugar and cocoa powder together. Dip the top of the glass in water and then in the cocoa mix so it rims the glass. Pour the vodka, Tia Maria and Frangelico into a martini glass filled with ice and shake until well blended. Pour into your chilled glass, sprinkle with chocolate shavings, serve and to hell with the calories! Straw optional.
