Ingredients
- Non-Alcoholic Spirit Alternative (e.g., Non-Alcoholic Vodka or Gin Substitute)
- Chocolate Syrup
- Heavy Cream or Half-and-Half
- Vanilla Extract
- Red Gel Food Coloring
- Confectioners' Sugar (Optional)
- Garnish (Whipped Cream, Chocolate Shavings, Red Sugar for Rim)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glassware: Pour about two tablespoons of red colored sugar onto a small, shallow plate. On another small plate, add a tablespoon of simple syrup or water. Dip the rim of your chilled martini glass into the syrup or water first, then immediately dip it into the red sugar, rotating gently to get an even, festive coating. Set the glass aside.
- Combine Ingredients in Shaker: Grab a cocktail shaker and fill it about two-thirds full with ice cubes. Measure and pour in 2 ounces of your chosen non-alcoholic spirit alternative, followed by 1.5 ounces of rich chocolate syrup, 1.5 ounces of heavy cream or half-and-half, and a generous half teaspoon of good quality vanilla extract.
- Add the Red Velvet Hue: Add 2-4 drops of red gel food coloring directly into the shaker. Start with 2 drops and add more if you desire a deeper, more intense red. If using confectioners' sugar for extra sweetness, add about half a teaspoon now.
- Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid tightly on your cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold.
- Strain and Garnish: Remove the lid from the shaker. Using a cocktail strainer, carefully strain the contents into your prepared, sugar-rimmed martini glass. Top your Red Velvet Martini with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.
