Godiva Chocolate Martini
A Godiva chocolate martini is the perfect blend of indulgence and elegance, offering a decadent treat for chocolate lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. This luxurious drink combines the rich, velvety taste of Godiva chocolate liqueur with the smoothness of vodka, creating a dessert-like experience in a glass.
This rich, creamy, and delicious Godiva chocolate martini will be your new first choice when you are thinking of having a dessert cocktail. The flavor is so good that you will have to apply some self-discipline and only drink one. Or two. But never three. They’re 100% alcohol!
You have been warned. I will not be responsible if you consume more than two! 😉

Helpful tips
- Although I use Godiva chocolate liqueur in this recipe, the brand stopped making the liqueur. So, any chocolate liqueur will work.
- I like to garnish this cocktail with chocolate sauce around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim in finely chopped dark chocolate.
- For the garnish, use the chocolate of your choice, but I prefer dark chocolate, like the Dove brand. (Dark chocolate is my chocolate of choice to eat as candy, too!)
- Dark chocolate also makes the garnish stand out more from the Godiva chocolate martini itself. Milk chocolate will look too much like the drink.
- You might be tempted to drizzle chocolate syrup in the glass but the cocktail is sweet enough and I believe adding the syrup in the cocktail would take it over the top, but not in a good way.
- If you don’t have RumChata you could use Baileys Irish cream instead, but RumChata is definitely the way to go.
How to make the Godiva chocolate martini
Pre-step
Cut some dark chocolate into very small pieces and place them on a small plate. (You can also use shaved chocolate instead). Stick your finger in chocolate sauce and run it around the rim of your glasses. Dip the rims into the chocolate pieces. Lift the glasses from the chocolate, gently shake any excess chocolate, right the glasses, and set aside.
Get a cocktail shaker, measuring glass, and martini glasses.
Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice. As you measure each ingredient below, pour it into the cocktail shaker.

Step four

Step five
Place the lid on your shaker and shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds.
Step six
Divide, strain, and pour the liquid between the martini glasses. Oh! And lookie-loo; there’s more in the shaker! If this happens to you, grab a little glass and pour it in. I always love a sidecar of yumminess.

Helpful Tips
- Godiva chocolate liqueur is what I use in this recipe, but since it’s no longer in production, any chocolate liqueur will work just fine.
- For garnish, I like to rim the glass with chocolate sauce and dip it into finely chopped dark chocolate.
- You can use any chocolate you like for the garnish, but I prefer dark chocolate—Dove is a good choice. (It’s also my favorite chocolate to snack on!)
- Dark chocolate gives a nice contrast against the drink, while milk chocolate tends to blend in too much with the cocktail’s color.
- While it might be tempting to drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass, I skip it. The drink is already sweet enough, and the syrup can make it overly rich.
- If you don’t have RumChata, Baileys Irish Cream will work as a substitute—but RumChata really gives the best flavor in this mix.

Yesss, I am so for taking a stand with you!!! I love this martini and the simplicity of the cocktail!
Thanks so much, Annie!
I love me a good martini! Yum! And I love trying new flavors with those little airplane bottles. Great work on this martini!
Thanks so much, Debi. And yes, I agree, I love a good martini!
Oh this martini was incredible! I love, love, love holiday cocktails – thank you for the great recipe!
Kristine, thanks so much!
How delicious! I’m afraid to make this again as I won’t stop making them. 😉
Hehe. I have that problem too! Thank you Joyce!
I made this in advance of a holiday party, and I must say, it is amazing! The party is coming up and I know everyone is going to love it!!!
Yay! That’s awesome Jennifer. It is such a great decadent cocktail! Enjoy!
This is such a great recipe. One more way for me to enjoy chocolate! 🙂
Hehe. Thanks, Erika!
I can totally see how it would be hard to stop at 2!! This Godiva Chocolate Martini is so tasty! I would rather drink this than have dessert! It cures my sweet tooth cravings.
Mine too Katie! Thanks for your comment! I appreciate it.
This cocktail was amazing and your photography is stunning!
Thanks so much Genevieve! That really made my day!
Just in time for the holidays too, this was delicious! I am never going to say no to something with chocolate, YUM! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Amelia! It is the perfect holiday cocktail!
It looks delish – can’t wait to try. How many cocktails does this recipe make?
Kelly, this makes two cocktails depending on the size of your martini glass. If they are on the small size, it will make 2 1/2. Hope this helps. 🙂
I used a micro grater for the chocolate. Since I don’t drink much or often, I didn’t have martini glasses but these worked nice for a ‘double’ 👍😉
Hehe. I’m glad to hear that Becca! When I want a decadent drink, this is my go to. I’m glad you enjoyed it and took the time to let me know.
Best ever chocolate martini I’ve ever had & I’ve tried many!!! So rich & decadant like an after dinner dessert drink. Heed the warning to stop @ 2 as it is difficult to do, soooooo delish!
Thanks Janie! I really appreciate it. When hubby drinks these, he keeps saying, “it’s like candy.” I have to remind him that it’s also very boozy! 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to comment and rate it!
Have looked everywhere for the thick stem glasses!! Any help with that?
Thicker than a normal martini glass? On that post, I use a normal martini glass, a smaller coupe (in the background – I got that one at Amazon) and the bubble looking bottomed martini glass – I got at Crate and Barrel – it’s called a “Verve Martini Glass.” Hope that helps, Cathy.
Found your receipel last summer and have been enjoying them ever since. Also have had “Girls Night In” with a pitch or 2 of these so now the girls are also hooked. I had to give the receipe to a very young bartender who wasn’t familiar with it and he did a great job! So the spread of this drink goes on and on!
How very fun, Liz. Thank you so much for letting me know and I’m glad that you and your friends enjoyed it! It’s one of my most sought after drinks when I have a party.
so much for recipes like this now that they stopped making Godiva liqueur.
Really, Jeff? I’m surprised. Just use any chocolate liqueur, it will work. Cheers.
Will regular vodka work as well?
I have rum hats, Mozart dark chocolate liqueur and regular vodka.
Yes, Nancy. It will definitely work. Cheers!! And thank you to your question.
