Frozen Hot Chocolate Martini

Author: Mary DiSomma

Every New Year’s Eve party needs a fun cocktail to help guests remember the celebration! For this upcoming New Year’s Eve, I have the perfect drink! It’s a festive take on a martini cocktail recipe, and it only uses three ingredients if you don’t count the ice. This frozen hot chocolate martini recipe makes a sweet and creamy cocktail that’s not too boozy.

You can even skip the alcohol and make a fun frappe-style chocolate mocktail for kiddos and grown ups who have gone alcohol-free! Either way, I recommend serving this one with whipped cream and chocolate curls. Before you get started, make sure you have some of my homemade hot chocolate mix on hand!
