Chocolate Margarita

Over the years I've seen several recipes for chocolate margaritas.  I've made one version in the past.  It was OK, though certainly not fantastic.

Here's a new chocolate margarita recipe that I just found on the Food Network website.  Since Summer has finally shown up in Wisconsin I'm thinking this will be a special treat this evening.  But I prefer blended Margaritas so I might try a variation on this.

Chocolate Margarita

To rim the glasses:
• Chocolate syrup
• Finely chopped Mexican or bittersweet chocolate
 
Put the chocolate syrup and chopped chocolate into 2 small flat dishes. Dip the rims of 4 margarita glasses into the chocolate syrup. Then dip into the chopped chocolate to coat edges.  Set aside, upright.
 
Margarita:
• Ice 
• 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
 
Put the ice into a shaker.  Combine all of the other ingredients in a pitcher. Pour enough for a single glass into the shaker of ice.  Shake and pour into a prepared glass. Repeat for each.  Serve icy cold.

Enjoy!

    Sure is too bad Mother’s Day and my birthday are past or I’d be asking for one of those to celebrate. Sounds yummy (& very interesting)!
