shaker
grater
knife

Tip: if you don't have a shaker you can use 2 glasses to pour the liquid back a forth to mix.  One glass will need to be slightly smaller than the other so you can pour the liquid out without the ice cubes when you are finished mixing it.

Fill your shaker about 1/2 full of ice

1-1/2 oz chocolate liqueur
1 oz creme de cacao
1/3 oz Irish creme liquor
1/3 oz whiskey

Don't shake the mixture too long or the drink will get watered down

Optional extra:  if you want more chocolate you can drizzle chocolate syrup in the glass before adding the mixture

Shave chocolate into drink  - remember not to use milk chocolate as it doesn't grate as well

cut halfway into strawberry for glass rim

ENJOY!!!!!!!
