INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 oz Baileys Irish Cream
  • 4 oz Chocolate Liqueur
  • 8 oz Vodka
  • 3 tbsp chocolate syrup or ganache


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the martini glasses then add chocolate syrup to a shallow plate and coat the rims of the glasses.
  2. Combine Baileys, chocolate liqueur, and vodka in a cocktail shaker filled with about a cup of Ice.
  3. Shake until thoroughly chilled.

NOTES:

  • The garnish is optional but you can always garnish the glasses ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a few hours-overnight.
  • If you like things less sweet then add an extra jigger of vodka.
  • Have fun with different flavor additions. Cherry liqueur for chocolate cherry martinis, espresso or coffee liqueur for a mocha martini etc.
  • You can mix the cocktails in advance and shake or stir with ice just before serving.
  • Kate would add a squirt of whipped cream for the "Bunny Tail"

Information provided by article from The Oakland Press: See article linked below. For a few meaningful hours, the historic Holly Hotel briefly came back to life as part of the Echoes in the Iron music series, a Michigan-based project that brings original music into unique, small-town spaces. Local musicians, including Ashley and Aaron Markovitz and Trey Simon, gathered inside the still-closed hotel to record an intimate acoustic session. For many, the experience was deeply personal, especially for the Markovitz duo, who first met next door and have strong ties to the space. Created by Brandon Still and Bill Arnold, Echoes in the Iron focuses on connecting artists with the places that shape their stories. Filmed in locations across Michigan, the series highlights the emotional connection between music, community, and history. The Holly Hotel session quickly gained attention online, reflecting the strong community sentiment tied to the landmark, which has remained closed since a 2022 fire but continues to hold a special place in the hearts of locals. Read the full story to experience the music, memories, and meaning behind this powerful Holly Hotel session. https://www.theoaklandpress.com/2026/01/21/holly-hotel-brought-back-to-life-with-one-time-recording-session
