CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRY MARTINI! :). Oh my goodness! My Master Bartender, aka my Hubby, knocked it out of the park with this little gem! Last night was our usual “date night”…..every Friday night, after he flies back home from the week out of town for business, we dedicate that evening to getting caught up with each other and having some fun. Sometimes with friends, sometimes just the two of us, but we always make Friday nights about “us”. Last night, we were supposed to go to the outside patio of our favorite Cigar/Bourbon Bar for a little flatbread pizza, cigar, and a drink under the stars, just the two of us. BUT, Mother Nature had other plans and decided that she needed to water her land! 🙂 So, since outside dining was out, we stayed IN…we had an “at home” date night outside under our covered patio instead.
Luckily, I had just bought a rotisserie chicken from Costco the day before…..aren’t those amazing?!!! So, I cut some chicken up, added some fresh broccoli, and cooked up some yummy pasta…tossed it all together in a butter/parmesan sauce and voila, dinner was served! But, what to drink that would bring a little “fun” to the evening? Well, my guy more than delivered with this drink…..it seriously tastes just like a nostalgic chocolate-covered cherry from my childhood! So, so scrumptious!! Check out his CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRY MARTINI recipe below and ENJOY!
