Whenitsknotforever.com summed up Valentine’s Day efforts that didn’t hit the mark:
“If for some reason your V-day fell short of expectations, don’t fret, because you’re not alone. According to Forbes, “for a number of people, the commercially designated day of love can actually cause stress, anxiety, unhappiness and even depression.”
Perfect.
Here’s a possible cure for that day, or weekend, after. The Chocolate Martini from Liquor.com.
Ingredients
- Cocoa powder, to rim glass
- 1 ounce chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva), plus more for rimming glass
- 1 ounce creme de cacao (such as Giffard)
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1/2 ounce half-and-half
Steps
- Add a small amount of chocolate liqueur into a small rimmed plate. Add a small amount of cocoa powder to another plate. Dip the rim of an inverted cocktail glass into the liqueur, then into the cocoa powder. Set aside.
- Add the chocolate liqueur, creme de cacao, vodka and half-and-half into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into the prepared glass.
It’s worth a try even if you have to drink it yourself.
