Chocolate Affogato Martini

Instructions

• 1To melt the chocolate, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Don't allow the base of the bowl to touch the water, so the chocolate doesn't overheat. Stir occasionally until melted.
  Tip: Chocolate can also be melted in the microwave.
• 2Remove the chocolate from the heat. Dip a martini glass into the chocolate to coat the rim.
• 3Place the cold espresso, Kahlua, vodka and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and replace the lid. Vigorously shake until combined.
• 4Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into the prepared martini glass. Add the ice cream and garnish with gold leaf.
