Holiday Entertaining Cocktails: Chocolate-Orange Martini

I continuously get inspired by Alicia over at Boozed and Infused and when I saw her infusion recipe for a Chocolate-Orange Liqueur, I knew that I had to make it for the holidays!  I absolutely LOVE the flavor combination of orange and chocolate.  The idea of making a liqueur that tasted like a orange tootsie pop seemed like a holiday wish come true!

• 2 oz Chocolate-Orange Liqueur (see recipe below)

Combine in a cocktail shaker with ice, and serve in a chilled martini glass with an orange twist.
