All Your Favorite Fruit

• Chocolate vodka, acting as a grownup version of chocolate syrup, lets you douse healthy fruit with a bit of naughtiness. Fruit that typically goes with chocolate, such as strawberries, cherries and bananas, mix best with chocolate vodka. Pour 3 parts of chocolate vodka; add ice and 8 parts cut fruit; blend for 15 to 20 seconds and then serve. To cut down on mix time and ingredients, freeze the fruit beforehand and skip the ice.

This Ain't for Kids

• The combination of dairy and alcohol can be a slippery slope; some ingredients mix, and others don't. Dairy and chocolate vodka work; they work well together and actually enhance each other. Milk, cream and ice cream are all viable candidates for chocolate vodka mixers. Mix a shot of chocolate vodka with a glass of milk for an "adults only" chocolate milk. Substitute chocolate milk for a double chocolate milk or add a scoop of ice cream for a mature milkshake.

Soda Jerks

• When you need a drink in a jiff, mix chocolate vodka with a carbonated beverage to recreate a classic drugstore favorite -- but without all the innocence. Lighter sodas like orange, cherry or cream soda work best with the chocolate flavor; heavier soft drinks like cola may overpower the vodka's taste. Mix with sodas with flavors that would normally go well with chocolate, and if you want to cut back on the sweetness, just mix the vodka with club soda.

Double the Buzz

• Coffee and chocolate are a formidable pair, energizing bodies with caffeine and endorphins. Chocolate vodka and caffeinated beverages work the same way, but add a different type of buzz. Pour a shot of chocolate vodka into a cup of coffee, latte or cappuccino for an adult after-dinner drink. Dropping a shot of chocolate vodka into a mocha doubles the chocolate, and mixing it with an espresso shot gives you an added kick. Your coffee drinks do not always have to be hot -- try chocolate vodka in an iced latte or coffee cooler.
