This divinely decadent and sensual cocktail is wonderful for a romantic Midsummer's Night, Twelfth Night — or any night for that matter.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 oz. mandarin Absolut vodka
1 oz. Godiva white chocolate liqueur
1/4 oz. mandarin Napoleon liqueur
1 tbs. sweet cocoa powder
1 tsp. dark chocolate shavings
Orange wedge

Preparation:

Rub the orange wedge around the lip of a large chilled martini glass. Lightly rim the lip of the glass with cocoa powder. Fill a shaker with ice and add vodka, liquor and liqueur. Shake well for five to 10 seconds, and pour into a chilled, rimmed martini glass.

Scatter the chocolate shavings around the top of the drink, serve with a chocolate candy kiss and say: "Love goes toward love. I can express no kinder sign of love, than this kind kiss." — Shakespeare, King Henry VI
