Reviews
This was awesome. Chocolate margaritas sound absolutely disgusting to me, and I had a party where I wanted to serve a dessert drink. I didn’t tell anybody what they were. I just asked them if they wanted a chocolatey dessert drink. They all said yes and they all absolutely loved it and asked me what it was. When I told him it was chocolate margarita, you should have seen the look on their faces! It was awesome.
I substituted the Godiva with a new product called Bouvery CV. I found it in New York at Union Square wines. It has such a rich dark chocolate taste that went really well with this drink. Thanks for the idea!
Yummy. I did have to substitue on the godiva, used a maple creme liquor instead. This was great and I can’t wait to make it again for friends. Next time I dwill use my blender with more ice and serve it frozen. You will want two, but be careful as they are pretty strong. Great dessert cocktail.
Tasty but I agree with other reviews SUPER STRONG! I had read the reviews so I reduced the tequila to 6 oz and it was still very strong. I added more cream to mine. I will make again but with less of each alcohols. The chocolate rim looked and tasted great.
Very tasty. Decadent and heavy, though, so be prepared for it to be the dessert. The orange liqueur and cinnamon add depth of flavor that makes this drink better than the rest of its kind.
I am a busy woman and rarely take the time to review recipes but I have to say that this is one of the best drink recipes. At first we all thought it sounded like a strange combination as tequila is not often a dessert alcohol. Wow…these little babies blew us away! They are SUPER strong, like a martini (but better and so drink slowly. They are like drinking dessert so you don’t recognize how strong they are. A new staple at all our girls nights!
This had really good flavors, but be warned, it is super strong. After reading other reviews, I started with half the amount of tequila, and then kept adding more milk to the final drink to dilute it – 8 times in the end – and it was still too strong for me!
YUMMY!!! I actually made this a fake margarita, I rimed the glasses like it said, but I used just vanilla ice cream, milk, and the chocolate syrup.
I would like to make this for my upcoming progressive dinner with our neighbors. It is a mexican theme. Did anyone use triple sec instead of grand marnier? I have triple sec at home and I know grand marnier is very pricy. Let me know if any has any suggestions! Thank you!
OMG this recipe looks good. I can’t wait to try it. I’m thinking of using Alton Brown’s homemade chocolate syrup for this recipe from his Art of Darkness episode.
