I'm posting two recipes for Chocolate Margaritas for National Margarita Day. As always I recommend you use the best ingredients for the best flavor! Both recipes suggest chocolate rims. I add a little salt to the rim mixture to bring out the chocolate and make this a bit more similar to a traditional margarita.
1. CHOCOLATE MARGARITA
A simple recipe from Blenderking.com: (Per serving)
Ingredients
1 1/2 ounces Tequila
1 ounce Godiva chocolate liquor
3/4 ounce cream or half & half
1 Tbsp Hershey’s syrup
2 ounces orange juice
Ice
Directions
Shaker, not blender: Throw the ingredients into your shaker for a few quick shakes and pour into a margarita glass with crushed oreos lining the rim! Enjoy!
2. CHOCOLATE MARGARITA
And, from Marcela Valladolid at Foodnetwork.com. This recipe is for a crowd:
To rim the glasses:
Chocolate syrup
Finely chopped Mexican or bittersweet chocolate
Margarita:
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1 cup (8 ounces) tequila
1/2 cup (4 ounces) chocolate liqueur
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup orange liqueur
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Ice
Directions
To rim the glasses: Put the syrup and chopped chocolate into 2 small dishes. Moisten the rims of 4 margarita or martini glasses with the chocolate syrup. Dip them in the Mexican chocolate until coated. Set aside.
Margarita: Combine all of the ingredients, except ice, in a pitcher. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a shaker full of ice. Shake and pour into the prepared glasses. Serve cold.
