Valentine's Day is all about chocolate right? So why not indulge in some chocolate cocktails.

SelvaRey's chocolate rum is an aged rum infused with natural chocolate. It is just right for sipping on the rocks or using it to make chocolate cocktails. What also pairs well with chocolate is whiskey. . Triple Dog Irish Whiskey is newly available in the United States, and features crème brûlée front-end notes and defined citrus finish. Both these spirits are used to craft the three cocktails below. If you're looking for a fun cocktail to make for that special someone this Valentine's Day may I suggest one of these:
