Someone surprised me and told me 2 days ago that National Chocolate Day is today. Had I known sooner, I would have come up with a cocktail with serious
chocolate flavoring and lots more! I love creating interesting cocktails and my focus tends to be fruity cocktails and ones with LOTS of chocolate.
Thanks to William Grant & Sons Portfolio of brands that are a great fit for National Chocolate Day Celebrations. They provided me the
cocktail recipes I am sharing with you in this article!
Here’s my list of chocolate-based cocktails and I hope you take the time to try at least 3 of them.. particularly because Saturday is Nation Ice Cream DAY!
It’s National Chocolate Day! (July 7!)
Test Drive These GREAT Chocolate Cocktails!
