Drunk Chocolate Martini Cocktail

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.)

This is a creamy chocolate treat packed with vodka. And the swirl of chocolate ganache and shavings make it so much tastier.

Give it a try; I know you will love it.

This three-layer chocolate treat contains lots of chocolate, coffee, and vodka.

It's cold and creamy, and you'll top it with whipped cream and a cherry, making it more like a dessert than a drink.

It's like a boozy milkshake, and it's very forgiving. As the name suggests, it could kill you.

But there are worse paths to follow, right?

Are you a Thin Mints or Peppermint Patty type of person? Either way, this drink is perfect for you.

The bourbon base makes it warm and rich. And the mint chocolate flavor leaves you feeling refreshed after drinking it.

It is a beautiful after-dinner dessert drink.

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

It has a warm, robust bourbon flavor with just a touch of chocolatey sweetness. Orange bitters and orange slices are also a good addition.

It's not like drinking a chocolate orange, but it's close.

Looking for something a little more festive? Check out this white chocolate martini.

It's thick, creamy and deliciously minty. There is nothing more Christmassy than that.

The famous Brandy Alexander is another great evening drink.

Combine brandy, creme de cacao, half and half, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.

Top with whipped cream for extra decadence if desired. Either way, you'll be licking your lips to savor every last drop.

This layered drink is like a chocolate covered cherry in a glass.

It uses only four ingredients and takes just three minutes to prepare, but it tastes incredible.

It's a fantastic drink for any occasion, but I think it works best for Valentine's Day.

I have no idea where the dessert begins and the drink ends in this cocktail. It doesn't just erase the line between them, it erases it.

It's a beautiful green drink with a rich chocolate swirl.

It is supremely chocolatey and exceptionally minty. Plus, you'll make it with ice cream!

If you have kids, be prepared to make the non-alcoholic version too. There's no way they'll let you eat something so delicious without demanding one.

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

Instead of something overly sweet and synthetic, this version is super rich, with spectacular spicy heat beneath the sweetness.

This cocktail has the same kick, but you'll add more than just spice. You will also add a little gold tequila and chocolate liqueur.

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.

Honestly, you could leave alcohol out of this one and probably never realize it. It's pure chocolate madness.

This two-ingredient drink is small but powerful.

Combining cake-flavored vodka and chocolate liqueur, there's nothing to "water it down," so it hits hard and fast.

Decorate with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired. Or just return it as is.

Either way, it won't take many to catch your eye.

You'll appreciate this creamy drink if you like Nutella or Ferrero Rocher.

Featuring the warm flavors of chocolate and hazelnut with an oaky bourbon base.

Unlike most bourbon cocktails, the Bourbon Ball is exceptionally sweet. You will barely notice the taste of the alcohol.

If you've never had a genuine Amaretto Sour, do yourself a favor and try this recipe right now.

There is nothing like that. It's rich, sweet and slightly tart all at once with a complex flavor that's hard to describe.

There are notes of caramel, nuts, vanilla, chocolate and more.

It takes a little practice to get it right, but you'll be glad you did. It may become your new favorite drink.

This 5-minute, three-ingredient drink is surprisingly nuanced. It is both tasty and elegant and has a charming yet simple appearance.

Tip: Mix an egg white with the cream for a fluffier drink. It doesn't change the flavor, but it does wonders for the consistency.

This recipe gives a chocolate touch to the classic White Russian.

No offense to the Dude, but I think this is the superior drink. (Hey! Chocoholic, remember?!)

The two cocktails are almost identical as they both contain Kahlua, heavy cream, and vodka.

Except this one just adds thick, sticky chocolate sauce. Yummmmmmm.

You've probably heard of Arnold Palmer. The Bay Hill Hummer is less famous, but originated from the same location.

It's a thick ice cream-based drink that's more of a milkshake than a cocktail. It's sweet but relatively smooth, and has more vanilla flavor than chocolate.

Still, even the most die-hard chocolate lovers will appreciate it. After all, it contains dark cocoa cream and cocoa powder!

Here's another strawberry and chocolate drink that's perfect for Valentine's Day.

You'll mix chocolate vodka, champagne, and fresh strawberries to make it.

It's a rich, bubbly drink that's deliciously sweet and pretty in pink. Plus, you can add all kinds of fun garnishes to make it even more charming.

Oh. Sweet. Mister. This drink requires no description. Just look at it.

The Death By Chocolate cocktail has nothing to do with this chocolate spectacle.

When I tried this one, let me tell you: I don't know if I was high from alcohol or sugar.

And I didn't even add all those crazy ingredients!

This drink is beyond decadent. It's downright sinful. But if you want all the chocolate you can get, this is the one for you.

Who knew peanut butter, chocolate, and whiskey would taste so good?

If you have your doubts, you are not alone. I was also skeptical when I first tried peanut butter whiskey.

However, if you want a drinkable and alcoholic Resee's Peanut Butter Cup, give it a try. That's precisely what this cocktail tastes like.

This drink also combines peanut butter and chocolate. But it has a different flavor profile.

It's less Resee's and more chocolate-covered Payday.

It's thick, nutty and chocolatey. Plus, a wonderfully salty kick makes it next level delicious.

It is very delicious and takes about 15 minutes to prepare. Still, it's sure to be a success.

Remember that this baby has an incredible amount of calories, so make sure it's a rare indulgence.

Beer, bacon and whipped cream. I'm in!

And we haven't even gotten to the chocolate and salted caramel yet!

This thick and creamy ice cream-based drink is spectacular. It's an imitation of the Hard Rock Cafe's famous dessert drink.

It's rich and sweet, but has a nice bite to it, and the dark, earthy flavor of the Guinness adds a nice touch.

Paired with the spiced rum, this drink has a lot of depth.

This festive drink tastes exactly like its namesake: a mint patty.

It's essentially a cool, minty hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles.

It takes just eight minutes to prepare and is sure to brighten your day.

This delicious mint-green drink uses just three ingredients: chocolate vodka, RumChata, and crème de menthe.

This is different from the other mint chocolate drinks on the list as it focuses more on the mint with lighter notes of chocolate underneath.

So if your favorite part of a mint chocolate is the mint, you'll love this cocktail.

Don't you just love a drink whose name tells you everything you need to know? That's certainly the case with this holiday favorite.

It's homemade; It's eggnog; It's chocolatey. And oh boy, is it delicious!

Unlike the other drinks on the list, this one takes time to prepare.

You will need to allow at least two hours for rest time. However, once it's done, everyone will be weak in the knees.

It's heavenly, lightly spiced and full of chocolate flavor.

You may not know it, but this is the Christmas drink you need in your life.
