Drink of the Day: Mocha Mint Martini

Monday, Monday….after a fun filled week-end, it is time to get another work week started. After today is done, there will be nothing better than a creamy cocktail like this to celebrate the fact that you have another Monday off the books. Plus, this will put you in the right frame of mind to make an early night of it and get some extra sleep in.

I created this a few years ago for a bar for their signature cocktail list and it is a crowd favorite. Wanted to share it with you. Cream based cocktails are great this time of year. These warm you up on the inside and give you that bit of comfort needed to get you right in the mood for relaxation. I couldn’t think of a better cocktail to introduce as the Drink of the Day on a nice and cool Monday. Hope you find it as comforting as I do. Cheers!
