With a name like Godiva and a flavor like chocolate, what could possibly be wrong about this relatively new addition to the world of flavored vodkas? Nothing! This stuff is so good, it’s better than your expectations. Launched last fall, both Godiva Chocolate and Chocolate Raspberry Vodkas can be found at a liquor store near you, just in time to celebrate National Chocolate Lovers Month. (Is it just me or shouldn’t National Chocolate Lovers Month be one of the longest months of the year, not the shortest?)

For pure and simple pleasure, just pour some Godiva Chocolate Vodka over ice. For added interest and ease in hosting a decadently delicious party featuring a variety of cocktails, these Godiva Chocolate Vodka recipes are quick and easy to make to order or by the pitcher, unless otherwise noted.

Black Russian

Colorado Bull Dog

In a tall Collins glass filled with ice, pour

1 jigger (1.5 ounces) Godiva Chocolate Vodka*
1 pony (1 ounce) your favorite coffee-flavored liqueur**
1 ounce milk or cream

Top off glass with cola.

Make this one ahead of time or by the pitcher but don’t add the cola until it’s time to drink it. The cola bubbles will dissipate if the cola is added too far in advance.

*Unflavored vodkas are the tradition for these drinks but chocoholics (like me!) will appreciate the velvety, rich dimension that Godiva Chocolate Vodka brings to the party.
** Why stop with Godiva Chocolate Vodka? Replace the coffee-flavored liqueur with any of the five sensuously scrumptious Godiva liqueurs for a double dose of delicious luxury.

I'm lip-smackingly grateful to Sujata Gidumal of Hunter Public Relations for sending me a free tasting kit filled with Godiva's blissfully delicious Chocolate Truffles, Godiva Chocolate Vodka, Chocolate Raspberry Vodka, and an invitation to tonight's Twitter Party celebrating the beginning of National Chocolate Lovers Month, hosted by Godiva. Thanks again, Sujata. I’m enjoying every tweet drop!
