# Ingredients:
For the glasses
01 -
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup, for drizzling
02 -
2 small chocolate bunnies, solid if possible
03 -
Whipped cream, optional
04 -
Chocolate shavings, optional
For the cocktail
05 -
3 oz (90 ml) vodka
06 -
2 oz (60 ml) Irish cream liqueur
07 -
2 oz (60 ml) chocolate liqueur
08 -
1 oz (30 ml) heavy cream
09 -
1 cup ice cubes
# Instructions:
01 -
Place 2 martini or coupe glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes so the cocktail stays cold and the garnish holds better.
02 -
Drizzle chocolate syrup inside each chilled glass, turning the glass as you go. Return the glasses to the freezer while you mix the cocktail.
03 -
Add vodka, Irish cream, chocolate liqueur, heavy cream, and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake hard for 10-15 seconds, until the shaker feels frosty.
04 -
Strain the cocktail evenly into the prepared glasses, pouring into the center to keep the chocolate swirl visible.
05 -
Warm a butter knife under hot water, dry it completely, and cut a shallow notch in the base of each chocolate bunny so it can sit on the rim.
06 -
Perch a chocolate bunny on each glass. Add whipped cream and chocolate shavings if using, then serve immediately.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served immediately after shaking.
02 -
For a mocha version, add 1 oz chilled espresso and reduce the vodka by 1 oz.
03 -
Use small chocolate bunnies for the most stable garnish.
