How To Make a Valentine’s Day Chocolate Martini
Prepare your martini glass by drizzling strawberry and chocolate syrups inside. Use the types of syrups you’d use over an ice cream sundae. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the chocolate wine or chocolate liqueur, white chocolate liquor, and strawberry vodka into the shaker, cover, and shake vigorously. Strain the mixture and pour into the prepared martini glass. Garnish with chocolate covered strawberries or strawberry slices and serve!
How To Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
This is really so simple but in case you’ve never done it, simply melt about 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high power for 1 minute, stop to check and stir, and then heat in 15 second bursts until the mixture can be stirred smooth. Dip washed and dried strawberries in the melted chocolate and place them on a parchment covered baking sheet or large plate until they set. You can speed this process up by placing the tray in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
They will keep for at least 1 week in the fridge this way. I cup of melted chocolate will yield about one dozen average-sized chocolate covered strawberries.

If you have an Aldi market in your area, their Petit Chocolate Wine is great and is a lower price alternative to Chocovine or Godiva liqueur. You can make your own strawberry vodka by adding sliced strawberries to vodka in a mason jar and let sit for at least two days before using.
