Chocolate Cafe Noir Cocktail created by The Intoxicologist - National Chocolate Cupcake Day - photo property of The IntoxicologistChocolate, chocolate and yet more chocolate. October is the perfect month for National Chocolate Cupcake Day with many purchasing bags of chocolate Halloween candy in preparation of Trick-or-Treat night. Young and old enjoy the delightful moist morsels of chocolaty goodness wrapped in decorated paper and topped with dollops of frost and sprinkles. Cupcakes have evolved through the years from simple childhood birthday treats to intricate artistic designs offered at bridal showers and weddings in lieu of multi-tiered wedding cakes. In honor of this creative little cake, today we take the progression of cupcakes a step further and toast National Chocolate Cupcake Day with chocolate cocktails.
 
There is of course the ‘traditional’ four ingredient Chocolate Cake shot with its miniature size that ironically tastes exactly like chocolate cake without all the muss and fuss of baking a cupcake.   Delve deeper into chocolate heaven with the Chocolate Café Noir Cocktail with its rich espresso and raspberry center. Go the warm route with hot chocolate, buttery Cachaca and mounds of whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles. No matter how you taste it, National Chocolate Cupcake Day opens the door for all things chocolate.
 
Thrill your spirit with chilled chocolate cocktails or warm your soul with hot chocolate drinks. The photo drink recipe slide show below contains 10 chocolate cocktail recipes using Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate Vodka, Don Julio Tequila, Leblon Cachaca, Absolut Vodka, Effen Vodka, Three Olives Espresso Vodka, Godiva Chocolate, Frangelico and Grand Marnier
