Ingredients
12 ounces (1 ½ cups) Tru organic vanilla vodka
6 ounces (¾ cup) white crème de cocoa
2 cups ice
4 chilled martini glasses
GARNISH: 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted on a saucer
Orange peel strip or chocolate kisses
Preparation
1
Melt the chocolate gently in a microwave in 30-second increments. Pour onto a flat saucer. Dip the rim of each chilled glass into the melted chocolate and swirl to coat the lip.
2
Place the ice into your metal cocktail shaker and shake for 10 seconds. The shaker should feel icy. Add the vodka and crème de cocoa and shake to chill for 15 seconds.
3
Strain the very cold liquid into the prepared glasses—it will magically become clear as it settles. Garnish the lip of the glass with a strip of orange peel or a chocolate kiss. Enjoy!

Either there is a step missing in the recipe, or the photo doesn't match the drink in the recipe. The recipe uses vanilla vodka and white creme de cacao, both of which are clear. And the recipe says the liquid will become clear as it settles.
Can we see a photo of the drink?
