The traditional recipe for the chocolate soldier is :-

1 oz gin
oz dubonnet
juice of lime.

You take the ingredients and put them in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Then you need to strain it into a martini glass to serve. This is a very strong drink.

Now for the people who aren't keen on gin there are other variations on this recipe. At the billybubbles website they have a recipe as follows:-

1 part kahlua
1 part brandy
1 part dry vermouth.

Pop all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Now strain into a martini glass to serve.

If you don't mind the gin, but dubonnet's not your thing, then the people at bardrinks.com have the recipe for you:-

1 oz gin
1 oz chocolate liquor
oz lime juice.

Place all of the ingredients into a shaker with ice, do the "hippy shake" and strain into a martini glass.

Yet another version was found at hintsandthings.com, for this one you take:-

1 part brandy
1 part dry vermouth
1 part crme de cacao
a couple of dashes of orange bitters

Once again pop all of the ingredients into a shaker and shake well then strain into a martini glass.

Another recipe for people who don't like their cocktails quite so strong, or just want to be able to walk out of the room in a straight line is as follows:-

2 oz dark rum
1 oz kahlua
cup of milk

No shaker required for this one, just put ice in a highball glass, add the ingredients and stir voila!
