How the day was saved by #GodivaSpirits

By Laurie | February 5, 2011

It’s been a a little while since I’ve attended a Twitter Party, but when I heard that there would be one that involved Godiva Chocolate and Vodka I was all about it. Even better, I was sent a little tasting kit with samples of the Chocolate and Raspberry Infused Vodkas as well as a box of Godiva Truffles. My favorite!

I’ve been stuck at home due to the ice/snow storm for FOUR days. When FedEx came knocking (literally because our power was out for over 10 hours on Wednesday and the doorbell didn’t work), it was like a care package from above. I felt guilty that the poor delivery people were out in the freezing cold and driving on dangerous roads with the crazies, but I got over that really fast when I open the box and the familiar scent of chocolate filled my nostrils.

The party the night before provided lots of tips and recipes. The problem with that is with ice on the roads, I couldn’t venture out to get extra ingredients required to make some of the fancier drinks. Impatient, I decided to try a small shot of the raspberry infused vodka, and paired it with what else? A Double Raspberry Truffle. If you know me, you know raspberry is my favorite flavor. I am not exaggerating when I say this was the best thing I have consumed all week.

I searched the freezer for anything else I could use to make a cocktail. I found some frozen raspberries, a Diet Dr. Pepper and crushed ice. Voila: Chocolate Raspberry Martini! It was delish if I do say so myself.

Rachel of A Southern Fairy Tale offered this recipe suggestion, which I plan to try as soon as I can safely get to the grocery store for some produce!

There are more drink recipes available at http://drinkgodiva.com, but here is my personal favorite drink recipe Godiva provided which would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day spent at home with your sweetie or a night with the girls (paired with a truffle of course)!

    1. I was drinking Mounds Martinis which was just chocolate vodka and coconut vodka mixed together. That was it. And after a couple of those, that was it for me.

    2. Lightweight. (Just kidding. I only had the two myself. Last week I had to be driven home after two margaritas, so I definitely can’t talk.)
