How to Make Coconut Mint Chocolate Chip Martini

1 — Add ingredients to a shaker:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the dark rum, green crème de menthe, RumChata Coconut Cream Liqueur, and half-and-half. Shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.

2 — Strain and serve:
Strain into a chilled glass.

3 — Garnish (optional but fun!):
Add a fresh mint sprig for aroma and color. For a playful touch, drape a rainbow sour belt candy across the rim for a festive, dessert-style presentation.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Adjust the sweetness: For a less sweet cocktail, reduce the RumChata slightly or add an extra splash of dark rum to balance it out.
Shake it hard: Because this is a creamy martini with half-and-half, shake vigorously to fully blend and create a smooth, frothy texture.
Chill everything first: For the creamiest texture, chill your glass and even your liqueurs beforehand. This keeps the cocktail cold without over-diluting it.
Want more chocolate flavor?: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup inside the glass or a light sprinkle of mini chocolate chips on top for an even stronger mint chocolate chip dessert cocktail vibe.
Make it dairy-free: Swap the half-and-half for full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream for a dairy-free coconut mint martini with even more tropical flavor.
Serve immediately: Best enjoyed fresh. Letting it sit too long can cause the texture to separate slightly.
Turn it into a frozen cocktail: Blend all ingredients with a handful of ice for a frozen mint chocolate chip martini that tastes like a boozy milkshake.
