If the usual Valentine's Day treats aren't your (for lack of better expression) box of chocolates, then why not get your Valentine's Day chocolate fix in the form of a cocktail? I am loving these decadent recipes by Van Gogh Vodka and Patrón. Serve them at a festive Valentine's Day party, or have romantic cocktails for two with your special someone. Cheers!
