30 Cocktails in 30 Days – Day 25: the After Dinner Mint Cocktail

Mr and Mrs Romance - Day 25 - After Dinner Mint Cocktail Recipe

Day 25 of our 30 Cocktails in 30 Days Challenge: the After Dinner Mint Cocktail.

Remember those little flat squares of chocolate that, when you bite into them, there’s a weird disinfectant mint goo inside? This is nothing like that.

This cocktail was another drink on the menu for the leap year party we threw a few years ago. It was so popular we ran out of cream! It’s that good!

The After Dinner Mint‘s a party favourite but it’s also good as that bit of decadence in your life. It’s smooth, velvety and mouth-wateringly chocolaty. So if you aren’t sure what dessert to have or if there’s nothing sweet in the house for pudding, this is the drink for you.

Or you can have this as well as a dessert – that’s what Mrs Romance would do – and I don’t blame her!

How to make the After Dinner Mint Cocktail
