This post was originally shared on December 6th, 2011. Since it’s one of my favorite holiday cocktail recipes, I wanted to share it with you again!

So, I kind of made a cocktail for a BRUNCH party! It was an innocent mistake, honestly. When I signed up to participate in the Virtual Holiday Potluck with some blogger friends, I failed to notice the word “BRUNCH” in the title. I just was thinking holiday, friends, chocolate, cocktails! What’s more fun than sharing a Godiva Mudslide Recipe for a festive holiday occasion? Not much, I say…not much. …

Quick post here tonight, to let you know that I’ll be participating in a Girls Night Out Twitter party this evening. For more information about the Twitter party, you can visit the Mom It Forward blog. Join in from 8-10pm CST to find out how Godiva Chocolate and Valentine’s Day can go hand in hand! Plus, you can win a great Godiva Chocolate Giveaway – so head over to Mom it Forward and check it out!

This blogging job is rough, I tell ya’. Sometimes you’ve just got to do things that you just don’t want to do. Like create and taste test Godiva Chocolate truffles and cocktail recipes. I mean, I’ve been cooped up in my house with my four children bouncing off the walls as the snow storm of the century hits our region, and the last thing I would possibly want to do is drink a delicious cocktail. Right? Right? Right….

{A splash of Godiva Chocolate Raspberry Infused Vodka into a Coke or Diet Coke makes a delicious and simply sweet cocktail.}

But, duty calls and as the faithful blogger that I am, I wanted to at least taste the Godiva chocolate vodka before I shared it with you all at Girls Night Out tonight. I’ve had the Godiva Chocolate Liquor before and shared the recipe for Godiva Chocolate Martinis then, but this Godiva Chocolate Infused Vodka and Godiva Raspberry Chocolate Infused Vodka is quite all right. If you want to make the perfect cocktail to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your love (if I were Carrie Bradshaw I’d say “lovah”, but it just doesn’t sound right coming from me) or with your girlfriends to just complain about love, this is the liquor for you!

Whatever your stance on Valentine’s Day, celebrate responsibly (aka please don’t drink and drive and don’t go overboard on the alcohol) and bring some Godiva Chocolate Infused Vodka to your celebration… paired with some rich Godiva chocolate, it is the perfect Valentine’s Day beverage!

The other day, my girlfriends and I were sitting around, comparing December calendars trying to figure out a good time we could celebrate the holidays together. As each of us dissected our individual calendars and started sharing dates we had available, it became very clear that December was a crazy busy month for all of us and getting together might be next to impossible.

I think that getting together with girlfriends during the holidays is a must requirement for women. Whether it is for dinner, a day out shopping, or a movie, it is so nice to share the bustle of the holidays with other women who understand how busy, hectic, joyful, stressful and wonderful this time of year can be.

If you are having a difficult time meshing schedules, but want to get together with your girlfriends this year, try hosting a Girlfriend Holiday Cocktail Hour. Set aside an hour some evening for your friends to come over, serve some light hors d’oeuvres and a small selection of cocktails or wine to share. What better way to unwind after a crazy day and to have some time to share in the holiday spirit than a low key, casual cocktail hour with friends?

I promise you, if you serve the recipe I’m sharing today for the Godiva Chocolate Martini, no matter how busy everyone becomes, Girlfriend Holiday Cocktail Hour will be a must have occasion year after year.

If you are like me and have several friends who are pregnant or nursing and who don’t drink, try serving this recipe for a Chocolate Martini Mocktail as an alternative.

This recipe states it makes 1 martini, but I would venture to say it is more like 2 servings
