Take a cocktail shaker and fill it with crushed ice. However, you can also use an electric blender for this purpose if you do not have the shaker. You can use ice cubes in case of blender.

Now, add in 2 oz vodka and 1 1/2 oz white creme de cacao and shake vigorously until all the ingredients mix properly. If you want your cocktails to be a little light then you can always reduce the amount of vodka that you use as this will not have a significant impact on the taste of the cocktail. While mixing make sure that you get a smooth texture as you should check the consistency while shaking.

Strain your mixture into a pre-chilled martini glass properly rimmed with powdered cocoa. Do not forget to strain through a sieve with thin holes in order to remove any ice cubes within your drink. It might be difficult at first to put powdered cocoa on the rim of the glass, keep practicing and you will get it right.
