The Dark Knight Martini
It’s possible that there is a martini for every occasion. I just don’t understand why having a new occasion requires a new recipe. Clearly I am in the minority.
I believe that the fictional character Bruce Wayne (a/k/a Batman) enjoyed martinis served up by his butler Alfred. I doubt that those martinis, fictional though they may be, contained chocolate liqueur. It’s hard even to imagine Alfred agreeing to make such a thing. It sounds more like a martini for Robin than Batman.
But let’s not be petty. 
The melodiously named Leslie Fishlock of @bar provides us with an example of American ingenuity and proof that martinis have a special place in the culture.
The Dark Knight Martini
4 fluid ounces chocolate liqueur
3 fluid ounces vodka
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate, grated
Directions:
In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine chocolate liqueur and vodka. Shake vigorously and strain into 2 chilled martini glasses. Put on your bat tights and garnish with chocolate shavings.
Try it, and if it doesn’t hit the spot, maybe you can feed it your boy wonder.
