Why We Love this Cocktail
No offense to the original Chocolate Martini, but this minty spin has got the crowd lining up. Enjoy it cozy or enjoy it out and about. It’s like an oxymoron in a drink – how could anything be so warming and invigorating at once?

Therapeutic Benefits
Peppermint Essential Oil opens the heart and creates a space for love.
The stimulating properties of Peppermint are due to its concentration of Menthol (19-54%), which make it ideal for stimulating mental alertness and memory. It also contains the same dopaminergic 1,8-Cineole as Frankincense.
Make a twist to your favorite drinks, wow your friends these holidays, and enjoy the healthy benefits of your oils in the process.
