February is one of the sweetest months of the year – not only does it have the romance of Valentine’s Day, but it’s National Chocolate Month as well. Celebrate both with this decadent dessert drink. A spin on the chocolate martini, this cocktail pulls in the addition of tart strawberries to balance the sweet chocolate liqueur. Serve cocktails with a plate of chocolate-covered fruit for a perfect dessert course for two.
