Drinking my way through Hershey

I spent a portion of last week in the happiest sweetest place on earth! You know where I am talking about, right?

Hershey, Pennsylvania! Where they make the chocolate that keeps me going when I'm on deadline or suffering through edits. I can honestly say I brought home enough to get me through the next several books. Or at least I think so. I might not actually remember a lot of the detail (though my alter ego seems to have picked up a few extra details). I spent most of my time enjoying the cocktails concocted by the hotel bar.

It only seemed appropriate that I start with the Hotel Hershey signature martini.
It was unlike any chocolate martini I've ever had before. I expected it to come out looking chocolately and was a little disappointed at the appearance. All was forgiven after my first sip. Oh, and that is a Hershey Kiss in the bottom of the glass.

I decided to branch out after this, turning my attention toward the Raspberry Cosmo. Again, I was not disappointed.

I think you might need another shot of that one in order to properly appreciate the awesomeness:

I'm really much more a dessert girl, so I went back to my roots and ordered a birthday cake martini. It sounded like it might be too sweet, but it wasn't.

Just look at all those sprinkles around the rim!

For my last night, I went back to the chocolate martini. I was, afterall, in Chocolate Town. Nothing else seemed appropriate.

Okay, so now it is back to the real world. I've got edits to do and deadlines to hit. Maybe I'll celebrate finishing them by trying to recreate one of these...
