Mocha Martini ‪#‎IsabelsBirthdayBash

August 4, 2015 By Betsy Cohen

Desserts Required's Mocha Martini is a wonderful twist on a Chocolate Martini. It’s easy to make coffee ice cubes and then throw them in the blender with a chocolate martini.

Mocha Martini #IsabelsBirthdayBash

Did you know that I always keep a pitcher of Chocolate Martinis in my freezer? When I made my first batch it seemed silly to make only one drink when I could just as easily, make enough for a pitcher for friends who drop by for a visit.

One friend, who I am confident will take me up on my invitation is none other than the founder of Sunday Supper Movement, Isabel Laessig. I first met Isabel when I went to the first Food & Wine Conference two years ago. I did not know a soul and Isabel and the entire Sunday Supper family made me feel right at home.

As you can see in the video above from the Food and Wine Conference 2015, Isabel’s smile lights up a room!

Fast forward I became a part of numerous weekly Sunday Supper twitter chats in addition to the planning meetings for the second and third F&W Conference. Everything happens at 7:00 p.m., which is the perfect time for a Chocolate Martini.

Today is Isabel’s birthday and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a Mocha Martini, a wonderful twist on my famous (within my Sunday Supper Family) Chocolate Martini. It’s a breeze to make coffee ice cubes and then throw them in the blender with a chocolate martini.

Isabel’s Baked Brie Cheese with Praline Sauce is the perfect appetizer to serve with a Mocha Martini. Be sure to head over to Family Foodie for the recipe!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dear friend Isabel! I treasure our friendship and wish you the very happiest of days filled with both Chocolate and Mocha Martinis!

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
