Chocolate Strawberry Cocktail, Valentine's Day

Since Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, I thought I should get into the spirit {at least a little bit} and make something inspired by it. Hearts, kisses, love… and boozy drinks. Since chocolate covered strawberries are a ‘thing’ that generates visions of romance and I’m someone who likes a good cocktail, I’m sharing a recipe for a Chocolate Strawberry Cocktail. Brilliant, eh? Whip these up for two and cheers with your special someone.
