Royal Treatment

Written by Jason Gutierrez

If you feel like royalty, at Café Med, the royal treatment is what you shall receive. Whether you’re out with friends, or looking for something spectacular to sweeten up your evening’s meal, the concocted “luxury-in-a-glass” that is the Godiva Martini is exactly what your heart desires.

If you aren’t familiar with Godiva chocolate, be prepared to have your taste buds tingling. Rich, succulent, and sweet, this chocolate is heralded as some of the best around, and this new drink at Café Med is no different!

Mixed with the finest of Godiva-infused vodkas, this specialty martini is the brainchild of head bartender Courtnee Hahn. Starting with Godiva’s chocolate-infused vodka, she quickly mixes in Godiva’s white-chocolate liqueur, and adds a splash of Godiva’s caramel liqueur. Of course, she swirls the glass with chocolate syrup before pouring in this chocolate-lover’s dream come true. It’s heaven in a glass.

“I love chocolate and so I could taste all the flavors as I was mixing,” she says. “This is something unique and elegant. I think the more people hear about it, the more our shakers will be mixing this specialty.”

You can imagine how decadent it tastes already, can’t you? It’s like something Willy Wonka would have created!
