2 tsp. Peppermint Vanilla Bean Sugar
1 Tbsp. simple syrup or melted chocolate for the rim
For the martini:

Rim the glass by dipping a martini glass rim in simple syrup, or melted chocolate. Roll the rim in the Peppermint Vanilla Bean Sugar and set aside.
Step 2
In a shaker, whisk together Dutched Cocoa Powder with a splash (1-2 tsp.) of warm water until smooth. This creates a silky texture with no clumps for pure chocolate flavor.
