Flowers? Mom Would Rather Drink Chocolate Cherry Cocktails

Two readers love this post.
Come on, how many bouquets of flowers can you really send to mom year after year? I mean, the woman gave birth to you, and the best you can do to say thanks is a bunch of blossoms that'll wilt in a week? Shameful.
How about giving mom chocolate instead? Not regular chocolates in a box, but chocolate in a bottle. New Crave Chocolate Liqueurs —Chocolate Cherry, Chocolate Mint and (for the adventurous mom) Chocolate Chili—are decadent new liqueurs that will let you and mom celebrate all she's done for you the way she really wants to: by taking the edge off the memories of all the hell you put her through growing up. (Fireworks in the basement? Seriously?)
To help you say, "I love you mom," here are four recipes featuring the Chocolate Cherry liqueur. And just in case, a few flowers can't hurt either.
