A sip of this chocolate kiss cocktail is just about equivalent to a goodnight kiss from that special someone. At the very least, it is a great way to impress your dinner guests and maybe inspire one of them to give you a kiss of their own. But setting kisses aside, this cocktail is fantastic all on its own. It may not be as famous as the Vesper, but it is more than satisfying enough.
