Chocolate Almond Martini Cocktail Recipe

I created this cocktail for National Bittersweet Chocolate Almond Day but it works equally well for National Bittersweet Chocolate Day and Milk Chocolate with Almonds Day because it includes both the creamy sweetness of milk chocolate from Pinnacle's Chocolate Whipped and the bite of a more pure cocoa bean experience from the combination of the dark creme de cacao and the bitters.

I always have both chocolate and coffee bitters, either of which would be a nice addition to this recipe, but I went with the coffee bitters because when I cook or bake with chocolate I often add some coffee element to the recipe for depth of flavors. Coffee really brings the chocolate forward and it also goes really well with almonds.

Not bad covering three food holidays with one cocktail recipe, huh?
