Midweek Happy Hour: The Berrymint Kiss
A few of my favorite things: chocolate, raspberries, and booze. Making a Berrymint Kiss is nicest in the summer when fresh raspberries and mint are available, but store-bought mint (find it in the produce section) and frozen raspberries work just as well. The mint sprig is key here, so you can pucker up for your partner in crime after your drink--it is called the Berrymint Kiss, after all.
Ingredients
1 1/2 ounces raspberry vodka (Stoli makes a nice one)
1 ounce creme de cacao
1 handful frozen raspberries
1 sprig fresh mint
Ice
Directions
1. Muddle a few raspberries and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker.
2. Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
3. Add the creme de cacao, and vodka.
4. Shake well and strain into a martini glass.
5. Garnish with a raspberry or two and a mint leaf.

This looks amazingly yummy. And like a good drink to serve up to that special someone on special occasions (it's always good to have a couple of these in reserve too). Can't wait to try it.

Sent this to my husband's email address at work and he came home with the ingredients. We just tried it and I must say, it is they BEST cocktail I have tried in a long time. Love it!
Thank you.
