Before-midnight cocktail
Ingredients
125g Coop Irresistible Fairtrade 70% cocoa dark chocolate, broken into chunks
Handful mint leaves
1 large handful of ice
300ml Coop chocolate flavoured milk
150ml local cream
150ml Coop Imperial vodka
Method
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the water doesn’t touch the bowl
Take off the heat and leave to cool
Pour a little of the chocolate onto a saucer
Take six martini glasses (or other serving glasses) and dip the rim of each into the chocolate to coat it, allowing any excess to drip off
Drizzle some of the remaining chocolate inside each glass, and rotate it to create a swirled pattern
Put in the fridge for about 30 mins, until the chocolate is set
Put half the mint in the bottom of a cocktail shaker and gently crush the leaves with a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon
Add a few ice cubes, then half of the chocolate milk, cream and vodka
Shake vigorously for around 20 seconds, then strain the cocktail into three of the prepared glasses
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the final three cocktails
