· Filed under Chocolate, Top Pick Of The Week, Valentine's Day
|
If you’re looking for a particularly pretty or manly box of Valentine chocolate, take a look at this week’s Top Picks:
- Each piece of Anna Shea Chocolate is a miniature work of art. The chocolates are designed to please someone with an eye (and palate) for beauty. But they’re not elitist: They’ll delight the chocolate connoisseur as well as the teenager. The boxes, in pink fabric or crocodile-stamped red leather, are keepers.
- Chocolate Malts is a masculine counterpart: handsome chocolates filled with single malt Scotch-infused chocolate ganache. The Scotches represent almost every region of Scotland; and yes, they’re delicious with a glass of Scotch. In a gold box with a plaid ribbon, they’re a treat for any Scotch lover.
- Whiskey 101: Understanding the different types of whiskey.
- Look up terms in our Whiskey Glossary.

Cut a strawberry in half or in slices, and you get heart shapes.
Heart shapes make great garnishes for Valentine’s Day.
Whether you’re serving cocktails, mocktails, sparkling or plain water, a strawberry heart garnish spreads the love.
Peligroso Tequila wants to spread the love with a Peligroso Liquid Love cocktail. Peligroso means “dangerous” in Spanish. If you’d like a less strong cocktail, use 1 part each of tequila, cranberry juice and orange juice.
Ingredients
Per cocktail:
|
Preparation
1. Combine first two ingredients and add to a rocks glass filled with ice.
2. Garnish with orange wheel and strawberry heart.
If your sliced strawberries don’t look sufficiently “heart-y,” use a paring knife to shape the top.
