Hey, Friends! Are you ready to elevate your cocktail game with a luscious treat almost everyone can enjoy? Look no further because I have the perfect recipe for you. Today, I’m excited to share my gluten-free vegan chocolate martini recipe.
One of my favorite things to do is getting together with friends. We have a little neighborhood group that we hang out with pretty regularly, and we sometimes like to try new cocktails. Because a few of us have weird dietary needs (a couple gluten free, a couple vegans, and me who is everything) finding a cocktail for everyone can be tricky! But I’ve been experimenting with this one for our next get together, and it’s just perfect. Rich, creamy, so chocolaty. So the next time you have friends over, or you just want a little treat for yourself, I hope you’ll try it!
What You Need for a Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Martini:
Before we get started, let’s make sure you have everything you need to whip up this delightful gluten-free vegan chocolate martini:
– Creme de Cacao
– Vodka or Vanilla Vodka
– Silk Soy Creamer
– Ice for shaking
– Vegan chocolate syrup, like Hershey’s Simply 5, to decorate the glasses
Now that you have everything you need, here’s how to put it together!
Putting it Together:
Step 1: Prepare the Glasses
Start by decorating your martini glasses. Take your vegan chocolate syrup (I recommend Hershey’s Simply 5) and create beautiful swirls or designs inside each glass. Be as creative as you’d like (and you know as the night goes on, you’ll get more creative) and once you’re done you can set the glasses aside.
Step 2: Mix it Up
Now, it’s time to bring all the flavors together. Grab your cocktail shaker and add the Creme de Cacao, vodka (or vanilla vodka for an extra twist), and Silk Soy Creamer. Toss in a handful of ice—enough to make your cocktail shaker frosty—and secure the lid tightly. This is where the magic happens!
Step 3: Shake, Shake, Shake!
Hold onto your shaker and get ready for some fun. Shake it like you mean it! (And mind that top! You don’t want it to fly off!) You’ll know it’s ready when the shaker is cold to the touch! Shaking helps mix up the flavors, and it also allows some of the ice to melt into it to make it a little less strong.
Step 4: Pour and Adorn
Once you’ve achieved the perfect shake, it’s time to pour the rich chocolate mixture into your beautifully decorated martini glasses.
If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can even top your gluten free vegan chocolate martini with dairy-free whipped cream or dairy-free chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence and indulgence.
Step 5: Savor the Moment
Your cocktail is ready! If you’re with friends, hand the glasses around and make another batch. If you’re on your own, enjoy your peace and quiet and your chocolatey treat. This gluten free vegan chocolate martini pairs nicely with both HOA gossip, or silence and solitude and a good book.

Tips and Variations:
– For an even creamier texture, you can substitute Silk Soy Creamer with coconut cream.
– Experiment with different flavored vodkas to create unique twists. Vanilla vodka adds a subtle sweetness, but you can also try espresso or raspberry vodka for an exciting flavor profile.
– Feeling a little nutty? Try substituting the vodka for amaretto for an almond flavor, or Frangelico for a taste of hazelnuts. (Frangelico is my favorite substitute!)
-Add a couple of maraschino cherries for garnish and flavor.
Recipe Notes:
This gluten-free vegan chocolate martini is best served immediately after preparation to fully enjoy its flavors. Make sure to shake and pour just before serving.
For a prettier glass, decorate right before you pour the martini in.
If you want to take your presentation to the next level, consider rimming the glasses with a mixture of cocoa powder and sugar. It adds a touch of elegance and enhances the chocolate experience.
