Valentine's Day is approaching!
Does absinthe make the heart grow fonder? We're not sure, but we do know it tastes splendid with chocolate!

We've decided to put together a list of some of our favourite absinthes to pair with fine chocolate. Put the champagne away for another day-- this year, make February 14th an Absinthe Valentine's Day!

We love milk chocolate with:

La Clandestine
Combier La Blanchette
La Fée XS Suisse
Elixir du Pays des Fées

We go weak for dark chocolate with:

François Guy
Opaline
Mansinthe
Angélique
La Fée XS Francaise

And why not try mint dark chocolate with:

Lemercier Abisinthe 45
François Guy
Recette Marianne

If you have a favourite chocolate and absinthe combination, let us know! Comment or send us and email (photos welcome too - we might post them here).

Cheers!
