While I do adore making mixed drinks for various occasion events, I concede I may battle a piece with Valentine's Day. I've done chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate and especially needed to make something this year that was one of a kind.
I chose to accomplish something with a natural product part. A red product obviously! Honestly this Raspberry and Chocolate Valentine Cocktail was attempt number two.
My first endeavor was Irish Cream with Strawberries and I truly attempted to persuade myself it was acceptable. In any case, it wasn't. It's just not a decent time for strawberries; the flavor was meh to such an extent that after my raid I wonder where every one of the individuals that gladly show their chocolate secured natural products discover them. Mine were just too flavorless to even think about adding enough to a mixed drink to have the option to share it. I'll hold up until Mothers Day!
