Happy Valentine’s Day!

Last time I was in New York, I stumbled upon this decadent and sinfully delicious cocktail at the Regency Bar & Grill at the Loews Regency Hotel on the Upper East Side. As somebody who loves chocolate but doesn’t like cloyingly sweet drinks, I was thrilled to find a chocolate martini that boasted the complex flavors of a good cocktail. Today, on the most romantic evening of the year, I find myself craving the heady combination of sultry ganache, smoky Mezcal and tart raspberry… whether you’re wining and dining a loved one tonight, or hosting the girls for cocktails, it’s the perfect way to kick off your evening this Valentine’s Day!

Ingredients:

½ oz Mezcal

1 ¼ oz light crème de cocoa

1 ¼ oz Godiva Chocolate Liqueur

3 Raspberries

Dash of chocolate Syrup

3 raspberries for garnish

Cocoa powder for garnish

Ice

Preparation:

  1. Wet the rim of a martini glass and dip it in the cocoa powder to rim the glass.
  2. In a shaker, muddle the 3 raspberries with the Mezcal.
  3. Add in the Crème de Cacao, the Godiva Liqueur, and the dash of chocolate syrup.
  4. Fill with ice.
  5. Shake vigorously and strain into the martini glass.
  6. Garnish with a 3 raspberry pick!
