This was a wonderful martini. I used the White creme de cacao and it was nice and smooth with a tad of sweet! I did add a spash of cream to cut the gin. Next time I'll just leave that out ;) Thanks for sharing (Made for Bevy Tag 8/08) Cheers ~V

I used 1/2 ounce of gin and I used dark creme de cacao. I shake it with ice and poured everything in a cocktail glass. I'm glad that the sweetness of the creme de cacao is there. Thanks Mary. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

Now this was an interesting cocktail. Reading the ingredient I just couldn't figure out what it would taste like, lol, so I had to try it. Smelled like gin but had more of a chocolate flavor. I used the white creme de cacao. Made for the Babes of ZWT4.

This was great but I ended up adding half and half as the gin AND vodka made it a bit strong for an AFTER dinner drink. I used dark Creme de Cacao, hence the caramel color. It's always great to try something new! Thank you. ZWT4
