I’m a such a fan of the chocolate martini, so we can’t end #choctoberfest2018 without me sharing my recipe for an Aztec Soul Chocolate Martini. It feels like it’s been forever since I posted a cocktail. Maybe you’ll be seeing more of these from me as we get closer to the holidays.
In the meantime, you can make up three or four of these and be perfectly satisfied. I am so glad that Forte Chocolates was a sponsor for #choctoberfest2018. They were so generous in the product that they sent and they are extending an amazing coupon to all the #choctoberfest readers.

I was lucky to get a pack that included Aztec Soul (Chili Peppers in Dark Chocolate), Orange Jazz (Dark Chocolate and Orange Essence), and a Gusto Lemon and Pepper Bar (Lemon and Pepper in White Chocolate). I used the Aztec Soul and Orange Jazz for my Aztec Soul Chocolate Martini. I couldn’t resist -the sweetness of the orange really set off the chili peppers in the dark chocolate. I have a little of both bars still squirreled away for when my keto month is over. I might need a martini or two to celebrate.
I totally love the packaging on their chocolate bars. It fits so well with their motto of “Celebrate Life Through Chocolate!”
