I thought this had way to much of a taste of vodka or it was just way too strong. I didn't quite understand the point of adding ice or water to the cup. They can just be put in the freezer to get cold beforehand. The 1 Tblsp. of chocolate would be way too much to. I found from another recipe it is easier to just dab the rim of the cup in some chocolate then to try to drizzle it all over the cup. It is a lot less messy. I ended up having to fix this to cut through the strong alcohol taste. Read More

Oh so good! I used regular (not white) creme de cacao and Merry's caramel irish cream liqueur. This made it much more like the Milky Way candy bar! Read More

This is a delicious drink! I like it full strength but if it is too strong for you reduce the vodka slightly. I added a 1/4 cup milk instead if water used the Bailey's Irish Cream with Caramel and a small chunk of a milky way candy bar in the bottom of the glass. Read More

Yum. Yum. YUM! So good. But wickedly sweet. This is more like a dessert cocktail not something you'd want to drink one after the other. I'll tell you they are hard to resist after the first. Even my husband loved it. Read More

We sampled two different chocolate martini's for a chocolate themed party and this was the hand's down favorite. It's powerful so I think just a taste is the best way to enjoy. We made the full servings but split them between more people. A very 'chocolatey' martini creamy and sweet. The chocolate drizzle made a very pretty presentation. Read More

This was good and easy. I wasn't sure if it was named after the candy bar or not. I would say not since it didn't taste like a Milky Way Candy Bar. I like that it didn't have any added dairy but still came out creamy with the addition of the Irish Cream. I think it is better with the chocolate on top of the drink instead of on the bottom of the glass. Read More
