Cocktail of the Month
February 1st, 2010 by Sara
It’s the month of looooooove! February is pretty much dominated by all things pink, lovey-dovey and chocolate. So why not celebrate with a delicious combo of cocktails and chocolate? A chocolate martini – when done right – is the perfect adult alternative to any other bittersweet dessert. Especially with a pretty garnish like this one, you’re sure to receive as many valentines as you wish this year!
