History
Created in 2001 by yours truly, originally shaken and called the Chocolate Covered Cranberry Martini. Even in the early noughties, it was a poor cocktail with a bad name. Hence, I retitled it Triple 'C' before reintroducing "Martini" to the name, along with an amended stirred recipe in May 2026.

We were concerned about the sweetness so added 8 drops of chocolate bitters and it was within our level of sweetness.
Thank you Simon for another wonderful cocktail.
