I was beyond excited to receive an invite from Godiva / Godiva Spirits to a private Mother's Day Mommy Blogger celebration at A Voce Columbus. I spent the morning enjoying lunch, cocktails made with Godiva Liqueurs and conversation with other "mom" bloggers attending.

Food, drinks and friends, what an awesome combination

Note: I was invited as media and received a gift bag after the event. Views expressed are always 100% my own.



The morning started with a sampling of Les Femmes Coupe a cocktail made with Godiva Chocolate Raspberry Vodka. It was light and delicious. Mine came with a little flower garnish. How fun!



While sipping on my Les Femmes Coupe, I learned about fun and simple ways to entertain family or guest after a meal. After dinner drinks can be dressed with a fancy glass or a fun element like a rock sugar encrusted stirrer. You can serve the after dinner drinks with yummy treats like Godiva bonbons or macaroons.


Soon it was time to join the other moms and sit down to enjoy lunch. The inspiration for lunch came from Executive Chef Missy Robbins highlighting her mother's signature dish. Moms are some of the best cooks!


We started with Misticanza paired with Parisian Breakfast, made with Godiva Chocolate Raspberry Vodka


Next was a Brisket paired with The Aromatic Allure, made with Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur


At the end was a Chocolate Cannoli paired with Haute & Steamy, made with Godiva Chocolate Vodka


After we enjoyed everything we had a chance to meet and thank Executive Chef Missy Robbins. She received a very loud round of applause from the moms at the table. it's not everyday mom receive such a treat. I felt very honored for all my hard work the past 4 years with my son. *laughing*

Huge thank you to Godiva / Godiva Spirits for the luncheon and all that they do to make our lives a little sweeter each and every day.

Now it's your turn to enjoy a treat at home.

Godiva- the name synonymous with chocolate- has taken that expertise to a line of creamy Liqueurs that are truly indulgent. The Original Chocolate Liqueur features the velvety smooth taste of pure Godiva Chocolate. They blend tastes from around the world to create three other unique flavors: White Chocolate. Mocha, and Caramel. The result is a line of Liqueurs like no other.

Godiva Chocolate Infused Vodka has the perfect balance of crisp, smooth vodka and rich, creamy chocolate. Meanwhile Godiva Chocolate Raspberry Infused Vodka is inspired by the Chocolatier's top-selling namesake truffle. Both flavors are easy to enjoy on the rocks, or as the ultimate chocolate martini.
