1 oz coffee liqueur
1 oz dark crème de cacao
1 oz Babicka vodka
whipped cream for topping
maraschino cherry for garnish

Blend until smooth.

CHOCOLATE COCKTAIL 2.
Indulge yourself with this Chocolate Martini rimmed with cocoa. It's a perfect dessert drink when hosting a dinner party or for those days when you have a little sweet tooth.
There are many versions of the Chocolate Martini, this is only one of them. Another recipe that uses a chocolate martini mix can be found in this video: Chocolate Martini. Personally I prefer to use a chocolate liqueur instead of a pre-mix. But if you're really fond of Chocolate Martinis or working in a bar where they're popular, the mix is convenient and tastes pretty good.
Ingredients:
2 oz Babicka vodka
1 1/2 oz creme de cacao, white
Hershey Hug or Kiss for garnish
powdered cocoa for rimming
Preparation:
Pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes.
Shake vigorously.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass rimmed with cocoa
POMEGRANATE JUICE COCKTAIL.
The Blushing Lady is a perfectly designed fruity cocktail that is the right blend of tropical flavors and looks stunning when served in it sugar-rimmed glass. It's a great cocktail for almost any occasion, any time of year. The flavor of a Blushing Lady is a medley of sweet, sour and tart. One may find themselves entranced in this beauty of a drink, making it easy to reach the "one too many" mark and having one blushing as pink as the drink.Ingredients:
1 oz Found Pomegranate Juice
2 oz Babicka vodka
1 oz pink grapefruit juice
lemon wedge
coarse sugar for rimming
Preparation:
Rub a wedge of lemon around the rim of a martini glass and dip the glass into a plate of coarse sugar. Set it aside.
Pour the remaining ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake and strain into the garnish martini glass.
PINEAPPLE JUICE COCKTAIL.
Get a little flirtatious with this pineapple flavored rendition of a Champagne Cosmopolitan. This is a great Champagne cocktail for romantic summer evenings, Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve or any other special occasion you want to celebrate. Mix this up just before serving so that the Champagne doesn't loose it's bubbles.
Ingredients:
2 pieces fresh pineapple
1/2 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz Babicka vodka
1 oz pineapple juice
3 oz Champagne
maraschino cherry for garnish
Preparation:
Muddle the pineapple pieces and Cointreau in the bottom of a mixing glass.
Add the vodka and pineapple juice.
Stir well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Top with Champagne.
Garnish with the maraschino cherry.
STRAWBERRY COCKTAIL.
There's no gaurantee that this cocktail is a love potion of any kind and it's probably not Madame Rue's magic shot. However, I can gaurantee that it looks nothing like Indian ink nor does it smell like turpentine. This Love Potion #9 is actually a really good frozen cocktail.
Ingredients:
1 oz Babicka Vodka
1/2 oz white crème de cacao
1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
scoop of vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup ice
strawberry for garnish
Preparation:
Pour the ingredients into a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into a chilled margarita glass.
Garnish with a strawberry.
If the mix is too thick, add berries or milk; too thin, add ice or ice cream.
LYCHEE COCKTAIL
In the Red Lotus cocktail the distinct flavor of lychee liqueur is accented with the lighter taste of cranberry. It's an interesting play of flavors that is both intensely sweet and delicately refreshing. I like to garnish a Red Lotus with three pitted lychees skewered on a cocktail pick.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Babicka vodka
1 1/2 oz Lichido Liqueur
1 oz cranberry juice
3 Lychees
Preparation:
Pour the vodka, Lichido and cranberry juice into a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
