Rather than a typical martini, which contains plenty of vodka, I created a sweeter and lighter in alcohol cocktail. I used to enjoy Godiva liqueur; however, it is not safe for those with gluten intolerance as stated on their website. Therefore, I have included a link to my homemade chocolate liqueur which I am sure you will enjoy.

For a nutty flavor, try substituting the Fernet liqueur for some Frangelico (hazel nut liqueur.)
