This time of year, with its colourful chocolate Easter eggs and spring sunshine, perhaps calls for a little whimsy in your cocktail choice. To help with that, Arran has released a chocolate martini recipe using Arran Gold, its creamy whisky liqueur. Between its cheerful sprinkle garnish and grown-up take on a chocolate treat, this martini is our perfect pick for a sunny April weekend.

Ingredients

50ml Arran Gold

25ml vanilla vodka

25ml chocolate liqueur

Melted chocolate and sprinkles (for garnish)

Method

To prepare your martini glass, dip it into melted chocolate and garnish with sprinkles. In a cocktail shaker, combine Arran Gold, vodka, and chocolate liqueur with ice. Shake vigorously until chilled, and strain into the martini glass.
