Mike’s Double Espresso Chocolate Martini

After a few Mike’s Double Espresso Chocolate Martini Cocktails, your jokes will be funnier, and yes, you too can dance. This is the perfect cocktail to get the party started.
My son was home for Christmas, and being the dutiful son we raised him to be, he introduced us to his “Double Espresso Chocolate Martini”. Now he didn’t take the credit for inventing this recipe, but I searched high and low, (yes on Pinterest), and I didn’t see this concoction, so I am naming it Mike’s for obvious reasons.
Why is it that the drinks that taste the friendliest hit you the hardest? It’s just a little coffee and chocolate, right? Wrong. I would advise you to limit anyone to two of these beverages in the course of an evening. Otherwise, throw a pillow on the couch because they aren’t going anywhere.
How would I know this? I’ve permanently lost several hours after having a couple of these babies. I’m sure I was in a great mood but I am thankful that there isn’t any film surfacing documenting my missing hours.

Delicious! Not sure if I could stop at one and they would for sure keep me up after 9.30! 🙂 A great party drink! Happy FF!

Thank you for stopping by celyn!
These look just amazing!! How decadently delicious!
I think there might be a conflicting effect on me here: awakeness from caffeine vs snooze from the booze. Hard to say which one would win out.
I know! Such a problem to have. 🙂
Aw, lovely post, Julie! We are so lucky to have Angie bringing us all together. These could also be called Mike’s Martinis on Crack! You just can’t stop at one! Happy weekend and happy FF!
Thanks Selma! That would be another great name. Lethal could also be in the name. You have a wonderful weekend too!
Yay, more booze!! These look amazing, go Mike! I love the addition of amaretto too! These will definitely keep us going all week long, just don’t hold my jokes about parrots against me in the morning haha
Thanks Michelle! I have made these switching out the amaretto with kahlua. Also a yum yum.
Wow, I think this is the best drink EVER! Chocolate, caffeine and booze, whoo hoo!
It is really really good! I don’t recommend drinking them if you plan on going to bed anytime soon though. Just saying maybe from experience after I took these pictures. 🙂 Thanks Lily!
I can imagine, wide awake and buzzing lol
Looks like an amazing Valentines drink to me. Perhaps brunch?…. Enjoy the party celebration! Cheers!
Thanks Debbie! It would be great any of those times except to relax for bed. It’s amazing what one little ole shot of espresso will do. 🙂
What a wonderful concoction you’ve created Julie, or should I say your Mike created? You certainly taught him well, first things first eh? Never mind manners, respecting your elders blah blah! :). Would love to try one of those, and those roses are just gorgeous. Your picture portrays a celebration and a festive occasion and we have it in spades here at Angie’s FF anniversary. I’ve arrived late, but am making my rounds. Happy FF anniversary!
Hah! My boy is a good kid. He would watch out for his ole Ma after one or two of these. 🙂 I had a nice dinner with friends and bought the roses. These did come in handy with these pics. It’s nice having flowers around in winter or anytime! Have a great weekend Loretta!
What a unique (at least to me) drink! I would love to try one of these!
I just had my first one at Christmas and just replaced the bottle. I did share though I swear!
I like the cordials, but not really the vodka. I am not much of a drinker, so I am also not one to guess how the drink would taste. It may be very tasty.
I don’t suggest you try this one. You won’t remember where you finished it. 🙂 . Thanks for visiting though!
That is true. 😀 One drink and I am toast.
Whoooaaa! I am swooning over here, Julie! Your cocktails are more than divine…I think I just might need to try another one….later of course! Wow! Wow! Wow!
I’m glad that you like them! Cheers!
Oh my… those look so sophisticated and yummy!!! And great for Valentine’s Day that is coming up 🙂
The first one is sophisticated and yummy. It goes down hill from there. Thanks! 🙂
I’m not sure I could have much more than a sip of one of these these days, my drinking ability is that bad (plus chocolate in drinks isn’t something I can have much of) but they still sound great and sure I’ll find someone who can help me out with the rest 🙂
If you don’t tolerate alcohol well, or even if you do, these can be very dangerous! Thanks Caroline.
I love a good boozy drink. Especially one like this because it’s a treat with a treat. Looks good.
Thanks Chitra! I think you will like this one then. Happy FF!
Oooo. I’m pretty full but I’ll have this for my dessert after stuffing myself at Fiesta Friday. Now my feasting is complete and I need a nap. 😉
I think FF is definitely off to a great start! It’s a good thing it was never a Monday thing!
I love learning about new ways of cooking from people all over the world too. So glad to meet you through Fiesta Friday!
Thank you!
They look amazing Julie-a delicious intoxication!
Thank you Jan! It is dangerous!
It appears Mike was raised right! And, perhaps by a good “bar” teacher?!? This drink sounds fabulous, Julie. Delicious ingredients and your photos definitely make me want one. 🙂
It is the weekend right? 🙂 Thank you Nancy.
Bet that wakes you up!!!!!
Honestly I made it during the day for pictures and then saved it for the evening. Big mistake. The shot of espresso isn’t a great idea unless you don’t plan on bed anytime soon. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Fantastic Cocktail! I am dying to try it out! I would love to get my hands on a coffee vodka. These look absolutely stunning 🙂
It can be a bit difficult to find. We found this at a large liquor store. The Grocers didn’t carry it. Happy FF!
I love each and every ingredient in this martini. I can only imagine how well they taste together! 🙂 I also love the arrangement with the roses. So precious! 🙂
Thanks Ana! They really pack a punch! I bought the roses for a late New Years Eve dinner I had on Saturday, and I have really enjoyed them all week.
Oh my gosh! These sound amazing!
Thanks Andrea! Yummy indeed!
Enjoy the party!!!!!
Thanks Elaine! It will be fun. I hope you enjoy it too.
These are killer Julie! Gorgeous and a lovely recipe!
Thank you Sonal! One is definitely my limit though. 🙂
