Easter might officially be over, however if you are anything like the team here at Polka Dot Bride, your thirst for chocolate is far from! Our friends Jamie and Cara at Brisbane City Celebrants are also refusing to let the sugar rush and sweet times come to an end and so have bought us their five favourite chocolate themed cocktails. Enjoy!
Jamie’s Top 5 Chocolate Cocktails
Albeit a different one, another Easter has come and gone. It was that glorious time of year when eating your own body weight in chocolate was totally acceptable. Not seeing the need to stop at eggs, for this little celebrant duo this Easter we also enjoyed some of our favourite chocolate inspired cocktails.
When he is not out and about being a celebrant, Jamie’s favourite past time is being our resident mixologist, so he has shortlisted his top five chocolate inspired cocktails so you can create these too.
