Chocolate Love Potion
Ingredients
- 2 ounces chocolate vodka
- 2 ounces Godiva chocolate liquor
- 1 ounce amaretto
- 1/2 ounce grenadine
- 1 ounce half and half
- whipped cream
- chocolate dipped strawberry
Directions
- Mix liquors and half and half in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Finally, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate strawberry.
Of course to make your own chocolate covered strawberries all you need is some Nestles chocolate chips and some strawberries. Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for increments of 20 seconds, stirring after each time until chocolate is melted. Then just dip the strawberries in the chocolate and place on a plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes so chocolate will re-harden.
Devil’s Food Cake
Ingredients for sexy drink recipe
- 2 oz. Pinnacle Cake Vodka
- 1 oz. Light Creme de Cacao
- 1/2 oz. Amaretto
- 2 oz. seltzer
- honey
- red cocktail sugar
- red cocktail shimmer
Directions
- Start by preparing your chilled martini glass by lightly brushing honey on the rim. Then roll rim in red sugar.
- Once the glass is prepared mix liquors in a cocktail shaker with ice. After that, carefully strain into martini glass.

Tip: Glasses can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated so they are all ready for a romantic night. Also, if you keep your liquors chilled you can leave the ice out of the shaker and double the recipe so you have enough for two. Then just leave the shaker in the refrigerator until ready to serve the drinks.
