Mocha Martini

2 1/2 ounces of Vodka
1/2 ounce of Coffee Liqueur
1 ounce of Creme de Cacao

Some odd synchronicity here. Yesterday I made for the first time a drink called a 'Alexander the Great,' which has pretty much the same ingredients

• 2 shots Ketel One vodka
• 1 shot Kahlua coffee liquor
• 1 shot Bolswhite creme de cacao
• 1 shot Single cream

This recipe is from Sauceguide's Cocktails guide, I've started at page one and am working my way through many of the recipes - well, at least those I have the ingredients for.

Sauceguide's is great -- color pictures of every drink, and it is in a magazine format - over 1100 recipes. One of the bartenders at Emryville's Trader Vic's recommended it to me on a visit I made there last year.

'Martini' used to refer to a specific drink, which was served in what was called a 'cocktail' glass. Lately, more and more people are referring to the 'cocktail' glass as a 'martini' glass, and thus also calling anything served in the glass a martini.
