The fabulous team at Gnaw have created a bar of bespoke Irish cream-flavoured chocolate exclusively for Craft Gin Club members to find in their October 2021 Gin of the Month box.

Those rich, creamy and smooth flavours and textures have inspired our team of experts to create this drool-worthy and completely luxurious Irish cream, gin and chocolate cocktail recipe.

But what is Irish cream, we hear you ask? It’s a liqueur made with Irish whiskey and cream with an ABV usually ranging between 15% and 20%.

Baileys is the most popular example of an Irish cream but a great alternative is Cotswolds Cream Liqueur. It has sweet, rich, butterscotch-like whisky tones and vanilla notes that work so well with the complex juniper-forward profile of the gin and the aromatic chocolate liqueur in this sumptuous martini recipe.

Chocolate & Irish Cream Martini

Once you have tried this mouth-watering cocktail recipe we recommend trying our other Irish cream and gin-based cocktails, our Baileys & Vanilla Martini and our Baileys Banana Bahlsen. They are both as easy to make and utterly scrumptious as the decadent delight below!

25ml gin
15ml chocolate liqueur
15ml Irish cream (Baileys or Cotswolds Cream Liqueur will work well here!)
30ml cream
Chocolate sauce, to garnish
Grated chocolate, to garnish

Pour chocolate sauce around the inside of your martini glass. Fill a shaker with ice and add the rest of your ingredients. Shake and strain into your glass and serve.
