Don’t Judge Me Mondays: Chocolate Covered Raspberry

/ Uncategorized

As I’ve mentioned before, we’ve started having a daily Happy Hour around here.  I’m not sure how “happy” things are right now, but it certainly takes the edge off. :/  One of our favorites has been the White Russian.  It’s a little sweet and has a lovely flavor.  Well, when I was thinking about cocktails for this Flavor of the Month, I started thinking about the White Russian and how I could take that as a basis for chocolate and fruit flavors.  I decided on chocolate with raspberry and it’s amazing!  The chocolate milk makes this more of dessert-y cocktail than the White Russian, but I think we’re all ok with that right now, am I right?

Let’s get to it!

This recipe is for 2 drinks, but I am certainly not going to judge anyone that wants to make a gigantic cocktail for themselves.  These are crazy times and you do you. 

In a small measuring pitcher or bowl add the milk and mix in the Ovaltine.  I really like having Ovaltine on hand to make chocolate milk or hot cocoa.  It has a wonderfully rich chocolatey flavor and actually doesn’t have as much sugar in it compared to a chocolate syrup.  

Fill your glass(es) halfway with ice.

Divide the chocolate milk among them and pour in the vodka and Framboise or other raspberry liqueur. 

Give it all a stir and enjoy.

This cocktail is like drinking dessert with the lovely chocolate and raspberry flavor.  It really does taste like a truffle!

Cheers, and hang in there everyone.
