Mezzanotte!!! (Midnight)

Pure decadence! That's how I describe this amazing coffee cocktail called, "Mezzanotte".
This is something you'd would want to make for a very special occasion. Dark chocolate, espresso, vodka, and coffee liqueur, make up this little treat! Who wouldn't want to sip one of these? It's like having your espresso and dessert all in one!

Consider making these for a very special occasion, I know I am! In case you haven't heard, there's a big bash going on in the blogosphere. Susan, over at Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy, is celebrating her 1 year blogiversary, and we're all invited to her virtual cocktail party!! If you haven't already met Susan, please go over and check out her wonderful blog, It's full of family stories that will bring tears to your eyes, and snippets of her life that will make you laugh out loud, along with all her glorious food!!

I've decided to bring this cocktail as my contribution to her party. It's going to be a long night, and I figure we will be sipping these well past midnight!!
