Here is the recipe as I make the DOVE Chocolate
martinis at my parties.

In a Martini Shaker, pour five capfuls of DOVE
Chocolate Martini Mix, three shot glasses of
Vodka, and add milk to shaker until about
1 inch from top of shaker. Shake. Add ice
and shake prior to serving.

immediately remove from heat. Pour the hot
cream over the chocolate. Let stand for 5
minutes and then stir until smooth.

Here are some suggestions of Wines to serve at
your party that go well with Chocolate.

Milk Chocolate Wine Suggestions

Pinot Noir (Rex Goliath Pinot Noir $9) or a
lighter-bodied Merlot (try Hogue or Columbia
Crest) will complement a bar of milk
chocolate, a creamy chocolate mousse or
chocolate accented cheesecake. Rieslings,
Muscats (try Bonny Doon's Muscat Vin de
Glaciere 2004 for $15) or dessert wines
tend to hold up well to mild milk
chocolates.

Dark Chocolate Wine Suggestions

Dark or bittersweet chocolates need a wine
that offers a roasted, slightly bitter
flavor itself, with perhaps a hint of its
own chocolate notes. Cabs and Zinfandels
have a history of perfecting the dark
chocolate match, resulting in an
unparalleled tasting combination.
A Cabernet Sauvignon or a Zinfandel
(try Grgich Hills Zinfandel 2004, $30)
will more than fill your chocolate
pairing expectations
