Espresso Martini
Rate This Recipe:
Martini for dessert? Yes, please. I'll take this any day over a traditional chocolate martini, which has 2 shots of chocolate liqueur, 1 shot of vodka, and 4 ounces of heavy cream. That's 438 calories, 9 grams of fat, 42 grams of carbohydrates, and 28.5 grams sugar! Additional food for thought: One shot equals 1 ounce, so when you are preparing this drink use a shot glass instead of a measuring cup to keep it simple.
