DRINK RECIPES FOR EPISODE #49: Ménage a XXX and Black Widow

This week on The Vodka Press, we discussed a variety of dating topics. So when cocktail time rolled around, I wanted to recommend two super sexy cocktails - sure to impress your date or hey, perk you up if the date's gone sour.

Ménage a XXX (according to about.com)

• 1 oz XXX Shine Salted Caramel Whiskey 
• 1 oz Trés Leches Cream Liqueur 
• 0.5 oz dark crème de cacao liqueur 
• 0.5 oz white crème de cacao liqueur 
• Rim glass w/ chocolate syrup

*Note: I sadly couldn't sample the Ménage a XXX (cursed cacao!) BUT I had Mr. Grimm try it and he loved it. So it's got a Grimm's stamp of approval, just not mine.
