Who says Halloween is just for kids? Adults need treats too. So why not celebrate this holiday with a Coffee Monster; a grown up treat that is as dark as the Halloween night, as sweet as candy, and as exciting as trick-or- treating. This cocktail is a perfect combination of coffee, coffee liquor, vodka and real chocolate. After a couple of these, you may even be up for trick-or-treating all over again!
Ingredients:
2 shots of Coffee liqueur
2 shots of vodka
2 shots of espresso or 1/3 cup of bold coffee
1 cup of high-quality milk chocolate
Few ice cubes
Cookie (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare the coffee in an espresso or coffee machine. Set aside to cool.
2. Break the chocolate into small and even bars. Melt them in a double boiler or in microwave by placing them in a microwave-safe dish.
3. Pour the melted chocolate in a mug and set aside to cool.
4. Mix the vodka and coffee liqueur in a shaker with a few ice cubes and shake. Or if you don't have a shaker, you may combine and stir them together in a glass.
5. In a martini glass combine the vodka/ coffee liqueur combo with the cold coffee. Stir.
6. Add the melted chocolate.
7. (Optional) For garnish, take a small cookie and make a small cut in it with a knife. Place the cookie on the corner of the martini glass.
