Wednesday Wants - Chocolate Martini

I said last Wednesday when I started the Wednesday series that I was open to suggestions and the first one I had was for Chocolate Martinis! Yum!


While I love martinis, my experience with the chocolate varietal is slightly limited. All of these pictures are from Yelp/Trip Advisor but I put the effort into the research to find what I think are Four Fabulous places to drink away your dessert!!

The Chocolate Bar 

at New York-New York is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 am. Located strategically next to Hershey's World, this bar can pretty much handle any chocolate martini your heart desires (and they have Chocolate stouts for you beer lovers). Seriously, I did not even know this place EXISTED until I started to research this but I am putting it at the top of my list. Just look at what they offer!

Order the:
Hershey's Kisses Chocolate Signature Martini (Three Olives Chocolate Vodka, Absolut Vanilla Vodka, White Creme de Cacao)

Death By Chocolate (Three Olives Chocolate Vodka, Marie Brizard Chocolate Liqueur, Dark Creme de Cacao, Chocolate Syrup)

Peppermint Pattie Martini (Absolut Vanilla Vodka, White Creme de Menthe, Creme de Cacao, Fresh Mint)

Hexx Chocolate & Confexxions

Hexx has taken over where the Sugar Factory used to be at the Paris hotel. So you're trading sugar for sugar. The menu doesn't have drink pictures because they seem to be focused on the real stuff here - they roast their own cacao beans to make the chocolate on site. If you're not in the mood for a martini, you should still stop by for some of their daily chocolate tastings.

Order: THE HEXX (Stolichnaya Vanil, Tempus Fugit Dark Cacao, Luxardo Angioletto, Cream).

107 lounge

The 107 lounge has 2-for-1 martinis for Happy Hour which puts it about $7.50 a martini - a hard price to beat in Las Vegas. It has awesome views of the Strip and is generally a go-to location for me to start when I am taking friends out on the town. The Chocolate Masterpiece is your classic chocolate martini, but when you add in the price and view, it is a hard one to beat.

Order the: Chocolate Masterpiece (Van gogh chocolate vodka, godiva chocolate and white chocolate liqueur)

Blue Martini

thank goodness we all take pictures of our drinks for Yelp

True, it is a chain, but there is a reason it has done so well- the martinis are great and the happy hour is even better. I wouldn't recommend you come here if you asked me for a glass of wine, but for a chocolate martini, I don't think you will be disappointed

Order This: THREE'S COMPANY (Three Olives Chocolate Vodka, Dark Chocolate Liqueur and Cream)
OR: ALMOND JOY (Three Olives Vanilla Vodka, Bacardi Rock Coconut Rum and Chocolate Liqueur, served with Coconut Shavings in a Chocolate Rimmed Glass)

Let me know what you want to see on here next!

Wednesday Wants - Fashion wants

I've decided to start a new series of posts for every Wednesday. 

Hump Day (as it is affectionately called) can be a struggle for most of us. It is that day that we want to be over almost as soon as it begins so we can start the countdown for the weekend.

In order to give the day a boost I have decided to start "Hump Day Happy Things" or "Wednesday Wants" or "Wednesday Wanderlust" - I haven't decided a title, so I may just use them all depending on the theme! I will keep each post short - just FOUR items no matter the topic, and hopefully mostly pictures and minimal words.

So here goes. This is my list of Wednesday Wants. Things I have had my eye on for a while now but are either way out of budget or on the line but I can't convince myself to spend the $$$. Lets admire them together =)

1. The Valentino "Rockstud" Pump. *swoon* I have talked myself out of buying this shoe several times now (and bought these Halogens to pacify me in the mean time) but I am keeping my eye out on Rue La La and Gilt for if they ever bring them out on sale....

2. A long luxurious trenchcoat...Like this Jason Wu Camel-Hair Capelet Trenchcoat

3. A pastel coat. While the Jason Wu above is from dreamland, this Guess Double Breasted Boucle Coat is on sale (as of the time of this post) and in a more reasonable price range. I have had my eye on it for a month now and keep talking myself out of it...for some reason, the last 6 months I have really wanted pastel coats and shoes...

4. Is there any girl who doesn't dream of a classic Chanel bag? The classic quilted flap bags are so iconic. A girl can dream.

So those are my current lusts for the week. Think of something you would like to see on this series? Comment below!
