Yeah, I think we’ve all been thoroughly traumatized by this guy: Benedict Cumberbatch as Paul Marshall in Atonement. Saying why he’s role in this is so utterly creepy would be giving away too much of the plot but it’s incredible to witness how convincing Benedict is in the role. Paul Marshall’s boozy speciality are “scrumptious” Chocolate Martinis (as he explains in this clip) , which, really are rather delicious. Paul Marshall makes his with Rum and melted chocolate. The traditional recipe asks for 2 oz Vodka and ½ oz Crème de Cacao (but any kind of chocolate liquor will do). I like to sneak in a bit of Baileys for added creaminess but there are many variations out there, if you Google for recipes. The result is a very boozy, very sweet cocktail that makes for an enjoyable tipple, even if you aren’t a pervy chocolate manufacturer.
