Chocolately Vodka Cocktails for Valentine’s Day

Recently I was introduced to Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate Vodka and their new Van Gogh Rich Dark Chocolate Vodka (SRP: $27.00 / 750ml). These flavorful vodkas taste and smell exactly like their names suggest — rich, decadent and delicious. For Valentine’s Day, mix up a batch of cocktails featuring Van Gogh vodka. Here’s just a sampling of the romantic chocolate cocktails that you can create.
