Godiva Chocolate Berry Diva

• 1 oz. Chocolate Godiva liqueur
• 1 oz. raspberry liqueur
• 4 oz. club soda
• Garnish: raspberry

Pour Chocolate Godiva liqueur and raspberry liqueur over ice in a tall glass, top off with club soda and garnish with a fresh raspberry (or a raspberry truffle!).

For Moxie AnniversaValentine’s Day, I thought this recipe for a dessert cocktail from our friends at TheBar.com would be a fitting choice.  Refreshing, pink and chocolate? Can’t get much better than that if you ask me.

Strawberry Vice

• 1 1/2 oz Remy Martin VSOP cognac
• 1/2 oz Vanilla Syrup
• 2 Strawberries halved in mixing glass
• Champagne
• Garnish: strawberry

Muddle ingredients and shake over ice. Strain into champagne flute and top with champagne. Garnish with Strawberry.

I thought this might make a nice Valentine's cocktail, if you're looking for something frou-frou for the upcoming holiday. This looked like one Kathy would like and since she's currently in a cocktail-free family way, I'll have to test it out for her. Being an auntie is hard. ;-)

Office Party Cranberry Punch

• 2 cups red wine
• 1 cup vodka
• 1/4 cup spiced rum
• 1/2 cup Ocean Spray Ruby Tangerine Grapefruit Juice Drink, chilled
• 2 cups Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry Raspberry Cranberry Juice Drink, chilled
• 1/2 cup green or red grapes, sliced in half
• 1/4 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1 lime, sliced
• 1 orange, sliced
• 1 apple, sliced
• 1 cup sparkling water or club soda

Combine wine, vodka, spiced rum and juices in a punch bowl. Add fruit and chill. Add sparking water just before serving. Makes approximately 10 5-ounce servings.

I know everyone is preparing for their holiday traditions and office parties so a bowl full of cranberry punch might ease everyones holiday stress.  Especially if they aren’t done shopping!  I like to freeze juice in ice cube trays to keep this kind of concoction cold longer and the spirits higher.  Enjoy your holidays everyone!  Cheers!  *spikes*

Peppermint… Froth?

• 1 1/2 parts Grey Goose vodka
• 1 part peppermint schnapps
• 1/2 part simple syrup
• 1/2 part cream
• Garnish: Candy cane or peppermint patty

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted and beaded with sweat. Strain into rocks glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with candy cane or peppermint patty.

Ok, so I’m not loving the name, but the recipe sounds good… if you’re one for creamy drinks. I generally am not, but I’d give this a go. I had a great peppermint martini at Bing Crosby Lounge called a “White Christmas” — this kind of reminds me of that.  Let us know if you try it!
