Chill the Martini Glass:

Begin by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

Mix the Ingredients:

In a shaker, combine the vodka, cooled espresso, chocolate liqueur, and orange liqueur.

You can fill the shaker with ice cubes if desired.

Shake:

Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but also ensures that all the flavors are well combined.

Prepare the Glass:

Discard the ice water from your martini glass to ensure it's perfectly chilled.

Strain and Serve:

Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass, ensuring a smooth pour without any ice chips.

Garnish:

Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the drink to release its oils.

Rub the rim of the glass with the peel for an extra burst of citrus aroma. Garnish with the orange peel and a sprinkle of grated chocolate on top.

Enjoy:

Serve immediately and enjoy the sophisticated blend of chocolate, orange, and espresso flavors in your Chocolate Orange Espresso Martini.
