The Reese's chocolate candy martini by POPSUGAR offers a fun and adult way to repurpose the popular peanut butter sweet into a delicious martini. The drink contains homemade peanut butter-infused vodka to really drive home the chocolate bar's tantalizing flavor.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are some of the most well-known chocolates beloved by both adults and children alike. The cocktail begins with creating a chocolate-infused liquor using blended Reese's pieces and vodka that is stored to let the flavors enhance. The vodka is then added to a cocktail shaker along with chocolate syrup, milk, ice and creme de cocoa. The drink is poured into a traditional martini glass and served with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup as garnish.
