I know because I am one of them. And I did the demanding job of compiling this list of chocolate cocktails just for you.
I even went the extra mile and tried them first!
I know; I am a saint
Well well! So it wasn't exactly "demanding." Instead, it was delicious, decadent and so drunk.
Ready to dive in? I know who I am!
Let's start with the chocolate martini.
It is elegant; It is elegant; It's chocolate and alcohol. What else might you need to know?
(To be fair, I could say that about everything on this list.)

Maybe you prefer to taste the whiskey while you drink it? In that case, the Old Fashioned might be a better option for you.

The famous Brandy Alexander is another great evening drink.

If you've ever had Mexican hot chocolate, you know it's different from its American cousin.

Try it just once and you'll crave it for years. It's a spicy, spiked drink you're unlikely to forget.
This pretty pink drink combines two of my favorite things: chocolate and strawberries.
It has an intense chocolate flavor, but you'll get notes of strawberries in every sip.
It's rich, totally over the top, and perfect for date night. Don't forget to also add some slices of strawberries as a garnish.
If you've never owned a Mudslide... well, I'm not sure how that would be possible.
After all, if you like to drink and enjoy chocolate, a Mudslide is almost a rite of passage.
But if you haven't had one, there's no point in living in the past. Head to the kitchen and make one now!
Icy, chocolatey, thick and creamy, it's more of a dessert than a drink. Plus, you can add all kinds of fun garnishes.
