Chocolate kissed Razzetini

If you are like me, Valentines has become a little overrated. I'd rather not fight the crowds and have a romantic night at home with my hubby. And this is the perfect drink for the occasion.... CHOCOLATE, MINT, and RASBERRIES! Yum.....




Mint Infused Simple Syrup
You will want to make your Simple syrup for this recipe ahead of time to allow the flavors to infuse. To make the syrup, mix 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar and stir until dissolved. For this drink, you will want to add 1/4c freshly ground mint leaves and let it sit.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp Triple Sec
1 Tbsp rasberry Liquer
2 Tbsp Cranberry Juice
1/4 cup simple syrup
Juice of half 1 lime

Preparation
Crush the cookies very fine and place on a plate.
Put the chocolate syrup in another plate and dip the rim of each glass.
