Creamy Chocolate Martini with Baileys — Everything is better with Nutella, including these martinis that go down so easily! The Frangelico adds hazelnut, cinnamon, and vanilla notes, while the Baileys Irish Cream provides richness and creaminess.
Easy Baileys Cocktail Recipe
Irish cream and Frangelico are two of my favorites. They’re a match made in creamy martini heaven. And things only get better when Nutella is involved.
Combining Irish Cream with Frangelico is a natural pairing. Frangelico is a liqueur made with toasted hazelnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, cocoa and vanilla extract. Those are some of my favorite flavors and ingredients, and Frangelico lends a rich hazelnut flavor to the drink.
This chocolate martini recipe is an automatic win for me because it uses Irish cream. I even started making my own Homemade Irish Cream. I love DIY projects that take literally 1 minute to blend together and help me save a little money.
To rim your martini glass for this drink, you’re going to have to dip your finger in Nutella. Literally caught with your hand in the cookie jar, or the Nutella jar, is okay here. I tried rimming the glass by putting the Nutella on with a spoon, but it wasn’t working very well.
Normally it’s jars of chocolate peanut butter my fingers are caught in, but I won’t say no to Nutella.
Crushed graham crackers adorn the side of the Nutella-rimmed glass. It’s a good thing I was drinking this at home rather than at a swanky bar because I was literally licking the side of the glass. Classy.
If there’s a way to work graham crackers into a recipe, stuck to the side of a martini glass via Nutella is a great effort.
The graham crackers and Nutella, the creamy factor from the Irish cream; with hazelnut, cinnamon, and vanilla notes from the Frangelico, these martinis go down so easily.
Optionally, you could add a splash of coffee if you’re into Creamy Boozy Coffee drinks like I am.

What’s in This Chocolate Martini?
To make this chocolate martini recipe with Baileys, you’ll need a handful of ingredients. Here are the chocolate martini ingredients you’ll be using:
- Nutella
- Graham crackers (or graham cracker crumbs)
- Frangelico
- Baileys Irish Cream (store-bought or homemade)
How to Make a Chocolate Martini with Baileys
This is the best chocolate martini recipe and it’s so easy to make! Simply rim a martini glass with Nutella (I found using my fingers to be the easiest). Place the graham cracker crumbs on a plate and time the glass with them.
Add equal parts Frangelico and Baileys to the glass and stir gently to combine.
Can I Prep This in Advance?
If you want to make multiple chocolate martinis for a group of people, you can prep the glasses ahead of time. However, I’d wait to combine the Baileys and Frangelico because this cocktail tastes best fresh.
Tips for Making a Chocolate Martini with Baileys
This recipe makes one cocktail, but you can easily scale it to serve a crowd. It’s a simple combination of one part Baileys to one part Frangelico, so you can measure out larger quantities as needed.
If you don’t have graham crackers where you live, try using a neutral-flavored, slightly sweet biscuit or cookie instead. (A digestive biscuit is likely the closest thing in Europe).
If you don’t typically keep graham crackers on hand, don’t fret. You can use the leftovers to make Graham Cracker Toffee, Cheesecake Bars, Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores Bars, Boston Cream Icebox Cake, and more!

You had me at “Creamy Nutella”! This drink looks SO good!
Holy Martini BatMan! I have to have this! Great recipe!!!
Such a fun martini and I’m in love with that graham cracker rim – I’d be after each crumb too.
You just can’t show things like this to a nursing mama!! ;-) You’ll be on my list of Somethings in my Friday recap post for sure!
Even though when I was nursing I hardly drank because I would have just fallen asleep – LOL – you can. Just time it properly with a glass of wine or 1 drink. You deserve it :)
I love Nutella and Frangelico together, and adding Irish Cream sounds even more delicious!
Yum. This looks like a great Christmas drink. I’m definitely going to give the homemade Irish cream a go – anything to feel “crafty” and save some pennies :)
It’s a great any time drink if you ask me :) But yes around xmas for sure, too!
Crushed graham crackers – that’s brilliant! It’s close enough to Friday, I’ll take two, please. :D
p.s. I’m still Pinning your yummy photos but I’m not using the @ anymore – it’s acting kind of wonky lately. (Sometimes the username changes as it’s repinned…kind of like the game ‘telephone.’) :P
I thought the @ thing was just me!! It does that to me too, and then all of a sudden a random person is probably getting a notification, til i quickly delete it! I know exactly what you mean that the username changes! So weird!
Nutella and Averie, how are you guys so darn good? :)
LOL :)
Seriously?!?! This is my favorite Averie recipe EVER. And it was probably a throw-together at the last minute kind of recipe, too. But, hi – whiskey and nutella in a classy looking martini glass?!?!
This really looks like something that would be served at a fancy NYC club.
Fave recipe EVER!??! In 5 yrs of reading EVERY.Single.POST! ?! Even if you are exaggerating a little, still very high praise, thank you.
Fancy NYC club – yeah, this joint called Kitchen Averie. :)
This can double as dessert Averie! Gorgeous
My thoughts exactly!
I love dessert martinis! And Frangelico is so yummy. I’ll need to get the ingredients for this recipe to have on hand in our house to impress our guests next time we have people over for dinner.
Enjoy it!
I love using both irish cream and Frangelico in baking!! The both add awesome flavors!
This is so pretty and I know that if I drank I would be all over this!! It is gorgeous and so fun and I mean NUTELLA??? Oh, heck yes!
And thank you for even commenting on this post! But yeah, it’s delish. I won’t lie :)
I will gladly sip one or three of these right now for breakfast. Averie, these are amazing. SO darn creative like all of your drink recipes! Your martini glasses are gorgeous. I love the pretty stars on them! But what really caught my eye is the Nutella dipped rim. And the graham crackers. Oh my lanta!! And yes, best to drink these at home. Licking martini glasses isn’t always pretty.
LOL to your last line. Thanks for the sweet comment about my creativity and this one was rim-lickin’ good :) I wish we could go out for drinks!! ONE DAY!!! SOON I hope! xoxo
