Drink of the Day: Robin’s Nest

October 2, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Sometimes, the ingredients are right there in front of you. This cocktail combines the flavor of cranberry and chocolate to give you a very tasty vodka beverage, perfect for that mid-week get together. A smooth, and let’s not forget to mention colorful, cocktail that you will have no problem toting around at the next cocktail party. Plus, it’s easy to make and there are no garnishes to get in the way. Unless, of course, you happen to have some chocolate mint candies lying around.

Enjoy this Wednesday’s treat! Just be sure to drink this responsibly. You will have a hard time not wanting to guzzle this down due to its flavor. Cheers!
