Mocha Martini: A Chocolate and Coffee Cocktail Worth Staying Up For

At BAR, we couldn't resist turning this delicious combination into a soap inspiration. Our Mocha Martini goat milk soap celebrates the rich, comforting aromas of coffee and chocolate in a bar designed for anyone who likes their self-care with a little indulgence.

This chocolate coffee martini is an easy dessert cocktail to make at home. Coffee liqueur brings depth, chocolate liqueur adds sweetness, and a shot of espresso gives the drink its signature coffee kick.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 cocktail

Ingredients

  • 1½ oz vodka

  • 1 oz coffee liqueur

  • ½ oz chocolate liqueur

  • 1 oz freshly brewed espresso, cooled

  • Ice

  • Coffee beans or dark chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso and allow it to cool.

  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

  3. Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, chocolate liqueur, and cooled espresso.

  4. Shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly chilled and lightly frothy.

  5. Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.

  6. Garnish with coffee beans or a few dark chocolate shavings.

Bartender's tip: Want a stronger chocolate flavor? Add a little extra chocolate liqueur. For a sweeter, more dessert-like cocktail, use a sweetened chocolate liqueur and adjust the proportions to taste.

Please enjoy alcoholic beverages responsibly.

From Mocha Martini to Mocha Martini Soap

At BAR, we draw inspiration from the things that make life delicious: favorite cocktails, bakery treats, and decadent desserts. Then we turn those inspirations into handcrafted goat milk soap.

Our Mocha Martini soap takes its cues from the irresistible combination of coffee and chocolate. Coffee and cocoa-inspired details give this bar a rich, dessert-like personality, making it a fun choice for anyone who loves the scent of a coffeehouse or chocolate shop.

It's not a drink, and it's definitely not dessert—but it might make your shower feel like a little indulgence of its own.
