A chocolate Martini is the perfect Valentine's drink as it can double as dessert too! It's pretty easy to pull together with just a few items from the bar.
In this recipe I've included a little aphrodisiac boost with a healthy herb that works great with chocolate and is known for boosting the libido- Maca.
Maca is one of the few aphrodisiacs that is actually backed by science as several studies have shown that maca can increase the libido and improve sexual desire.
Good news, maca is also an adaptogen - meaning it can help balance hormones, relax anxiety and increase energy...not bad for a healthy herb.
The other good news is that chocolate does some of the same things so, how great are these two together? They are perfect for a Valentine's Cocktail!
There are two different ways to get some maca in your cocktail.
One is to use powdered maca, just add about 1/2 Teaspoon to your cocktail and blend it in well.
The other (my favorite) is to use WishGarden's Maca Tincture and just add 6-10 pumps into your cocktail mix.
I like using the tincture because it is a more concentrated liquid form and therefore gets into your bloodstream faster. Plus, it mixes well with drinks.
INote- you can also use a chocolate sauce if you prefer and skip making ganache
Want to make this a true dessert drink? Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your chocolate martini or some coffee ice cream for a sweet little something!

This is one of my Mom's old family recipes and she use to make it every fall as soon as the apples came into season and every Thanksgiving.
The whole house smelled like apples and spices...such a great memory. I thought I would share this with you as it is like a hug from back home whenever I smell this cake baking in my oven...from my house to yours I am sending Thanksgiving wishes and love with this recipe.
This can be made sugar-free, low carb or gluten free
I just harvested the last basket of zucchini squash from the garden with some fresh parsley and decided to make one of my favorite quick and easy recipes - Zucchini Patties!
These are so easy to make and they are perfect for a quick dinner or they are great for breakfast as well.
Rosehips are the fruit of the rose flower. Most people are familiar with and understand how touse rose petals but are not so familiar with rosehips.
If a rose is left on the plant and not picked, it is fertilized by pollinators and the petals will fall away. The base of the flower then swells and develops its "fruit" which will look like a pod.
It is usually a soft peach color or can be pink during the hot months but once the frost hits the fruit it becomes a beautiful crimson color. This is when the "hip" is ready to be eaten.
