Event Tips
Mix it Up: Godiva Chocolate-Infused Vodka
Want to satiate your sweet tooth next time you’re entertaining guests or fixing yourself a little nightcap? Look no further than Godiva’s Chocolate-Infused Vodka! I recently received two bottles of the vodka — one strictly chocolate, the other chocolate raspberry — as a gift from a client, and both flavors are absolutely delicious. It’s incredibly smooth and isn’t sickeningly sweet or sugary. Have it on the rocks or mixed with the soda of your choice for a sweet (but entirely grown-up) treat! Unsurprisingly, it also pairs quite well with any of the famed chocolatier’s confections. It’s a no-brainer if you’re in the mood to indulge in a luxe libation.
Here’s a recipe for Godiva Chocolate á l’Orange:
Ingredients:
- 0.75 oz. Godiva Chocolate Infused Vodka
- 0.25 oz. Grand Marnier
- 0.75 oz. Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
Preparation:
- Serve chilled in a tumbler or rocks glass
- Garnish with orange swirl
Quick, simple and delectable. Not to mention, perfect for your next cocktail party or a night in with friends or a loved one, and it makes an excellent gift for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life!
