This Chocolate Orange Martini is simple to make. Start first with garnishing your martini glass. Take 2 small, flat plates and add 1 tsp of Cointreau to one and the chocolate shavings to the other. Roll the rim of your martini glass into the Cointreau first and then into the chocolate shavings. In a co*cktail shaker with ice add the chocolate liqueur, Cointreau and vodka. Shake for 30 seconds or until well combined and chilled. Pour into the prepared martini glass and garnish with an orange slice if desired.
