Strawberry Coquette

the best Valentine's day cocktail

I promise, this is not going to be another corny Valentine’s Day cocktail recipe…because we’re using strawberries, not corn…that was kinda corny, oh well… 🙂

Anyway, speaking of strawberries, while many know them for their flirtatious relationship with chocolate, this is one berry that can’t be tied down. And when it leaves its cocoa counterpart waiting alone at a table for two, the independent Strawberry skips town to reach its fullest potential in the Strawberry Coquette.
