“St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time – a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.”
— Adrienne Cook
Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, March Madness, the Obidos Chocolate Festival in Portugal… so many great things happen in March, where do we even begin?
Let’s start with a decadent chocolate cocktail to celebrate the season, our Chocolate Mint Martini. Although we do wholeheartedly recommend a substitute for the Godiva White Chocolate liqueur if you can find one, this martini still truly shines, a wonderful signal for spring… and St. Patrick’s Day of course!
